In this film Chris
Gardener, the main
character, shows
through his way of
facing the life a way
of behaving in the
different situations
the life gives you.
Some of those situations
are treated along the
film through Chris
Gardener´s life and all
the situations he lives.
At the beginning of the film Gardner family has
financial difficulties because they do not
have any money and his wife is the only that
works because Chris has lost his job; but at
the beginning they are eager to overcome
the situation together.
NECESSARY SKILLS FOR SOMEONE TO
BECOME A SUCCESSFUL STOCKBROKER
As it was mentioned in the movie a stockbroker must be
“good with numbers and good with people”. This means
that math skills and interpersonal skills are necessary for
this career.
I think that
interpersonal skills
is a very important
value for life
because when
people relate thy
want you to treat
them on a good
way.
What are some of the things Chris was
forced to do to make ends meet while he
was finishing his stockbroker training?
Chris is prepared to let nothing get in the way of achieving his
ambition. We all have dreams and
ambitions. Indeed, it is good to. But in order to fulfil them we
will have
choices, and sacrifices, to make. And sometimes the dreams
we have are simply unrealistic.
Chris tells his son to pursue his dream no matter what others
say. But sometimes we need someone
to give us a reality check. How do we determine whether
something requires giving it our all
and when do we allow ourselves to
hear the gentle word of realism?
QUESTION 9.
We think that to archieve financial success doesnt ensure personal
happinness.
The personal happiness is archieve only if you have love in your
life. If love does not appear is impossible to have personal
Happiness.
In Chris´s case, all the things that he is doing like finding a work,
not sleep enough,etc, are to support his son.So is possible
To be happy in that situation. But this doesn´t mean that is easy.
If your family is close you don´t have any reasons to be unhappy.
But if your family is broken is dificult, very dificult.
You have to be worried about your son´s future because you
haven´t got money and you are alone in the world. You can´t
Share your problems with anyone.
To summarize we think that in Chris´s family is possible to be
happy in spite of the financial problems if Chris and his son stay
Together.
AT THE END OF THE FILM DID CHRIS
GARDENER ACHIEVE HIS GOALS?
Yes, he wanted to become a stockbroker
and after a lot of work he achieved what
he wanted
IF SO, WHY DO YOU THINK HE WAS
SUCCESFUL?
Because he worked for a good cause: the
happiness of his family, before of his
owns.
