Super Short Synopsis
This is inspired by a true story of Chris Gardner, acted well by Will Smith and introducing his own son, Jaden Smith. 99.9% of the story is about his struggle and what he's doing about it.
What he'll do to get money (nothing illegal and harmful, BTW). And where he'll stay when there's no money to paid for an accommodation. To name a few .... public toilet, public train, public buses, etc. It's truly jaw dropping to see such scene and be grateful over the roof we have over our head.
D.D.'s A-HA Moments
He came to a job interview totally under dressed. With body full of paints. (He was painting his house the day before and caught in jail because he couldn't pay for his fine). So, with whatever he had on his body, he braced himself up to the interview.
One of the panel of interviewer asked him,"If I hire someone who doesn't have his shirt on, what will you say?"
Chris said,"I believe he must have had a great pants, Sir."
He's hired.
What's there to learn there?
Think out of the box. Focus on the bright side. And just be yourself. Don't try to be smart alec because most of the time your guts has the right answer all along.

There's a promise that Chris Gardner has made to himself that he has decided to put it at the cover of his book (as seen above) and it says,"I hold one thing dearer than all else, my commitment to my son." Why did he make such commitment? Because he had an abusive father and grew up in a way that he didn't really know who his father is.
