Cast:

The film begins in 1981 in San Francisco, California. Linda and Chris Gardner live in a small apartment with their 5-year-old son, Christopher. Chris has invested the family's life savings in a franchise selling portable bone density scanners. These scanners provide slightly denser pictures than X-rays, but most of the doctors Chris visits find that they are too high-priced. Linda works in a dead-end job in a local hotel laundry.

The tension between them mounts as unpaid rent and bills continue to accumulate. Chris often parks his car in disallowed areas so he can make scheduled appointments on time, and after parking tickets remain unpaid, their car is impounded. After missing a shift at her job, Linda finally leaves with their son Christopher, returns briefly, then departs for New York City, where a better job awaits her, leaving behind the boy at his father's request.

Chris accepts an unpaid internship at broke-rage firm Dean Witter Reynolds that promises employment to only one trainee at its conclusion. His lack of salary, and his lack of scanners to try to sell, leaves him riddled with debt, and he and his son eventually become homeless.

After spending several nights riding buses and sleeping in subway restrooms, saddled with their meager belongings, they begin lining up at the Glide Memorial Church on a daily basis in an effort to secure accommodations for the night. Sometimes they succeed, other times they literally are left out in the cold. As he struggles to provide a semblance of a family life for his son under the most dire of circumstances, Chris becomes more determined to complete the intern program and become the sole trainee the firm will hire.

In the end, Chris gets the job and later starts his own investment firm, called Gardner Rich, in 1987. It is said that this movie is inspired by a true story. The man in the final scene that walks by is actually Chris Gardner.

Chris Gardner

You have a dream, you got to protect it. 　如果你有梦想，就要守护它。

You want something. Go get it ！有了目标就要全力以赴。 　　 There is an I in "happiness", There is no Y in "happiness", It's an I.

　幸福的幸里面是一个“幸”，不是一个“辛”。 Y=Why= 为什么， I= 我。幸福里面没有为什么，只有我。

I'm the type of person, if you ask me a question, and I don't know the answer, I'm gonna to tell you that I don't know. But I bet you what: I know how to find the answer, and I'll find the answer,.

　我是这样的人，如果你问的问题我不知道答案，我会直接告诉你“我不知道”。 但我向你保证：我知道如何寻找答案，而且我一定会找出答案的。

You got a dream, you gotta protect it. If you want something, go get it. Period.

　如果你有梦想的话，就要去捍卫它。如果你有理想的话，就要去努力实现。就这样。

Don’t ask the god that where’s the happiness? When you believe that the happiness is just round the corner, you walk forward and don’t give up, and then you will get it.
