Last night i saw a film named 'the persuit of happiness' play by Will Smith and his son.Such a poor man who cannot offer to support his family and deported by the renter and have no place to sleep.Fortunately,ha has a cute son who will never look down upon and live him alone.I was deeply moved when he finally find a place for sleep in the bad conditioned wash room located in the subway.He had his son in his arms,cover his ears and use his feet against the door to protect his little man not to be disturbed by the big noise from the man knocking on the door.At that moment his tears slided down from his sorrow eyes when the outside guy kept on knocking .Finally,he succeed and became a stock broker.Most of time he had been pursuing happiness and he called the last small part as happiness when he knew he was recruited after 6 months' internship without any salary.
I always think that I will be happier if I have more money.Maybe happiness doesn't only mean you have plenty of money.It is a feeling when we pursuit it for a long time,make a large amount of efforts,endure what others'cannot bear and finally hit the target,maybe just a start of our goal,we dream of.

Yeah, the pursuit of happiness was a great movie. i enjoyed every minute of it and i agree that happiness is not brought upon by money, but it is great to have financial security. I measure my happiness by achieving my goals and making those important to me happy.

Meeting goals/achieving success can be it's own happiness.
I'm nowhere near my goal in terms of school, but I still feel rather victorious at the end of every semester, knowing that I'm another step closer.
I haven't seen this film yet, but I've been meaning to. I definitely have to, now. :)
