“You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin", go get it. Period. (Gardner) this quote explains perfectly how the quote by John F. Kennedy relates to the Pursuit of Happyness. In the movie the Pursuit of Happyness is a tremendous story of how Christopher Gardner played by Will Smith came from being literally on the street to become a multimillionaire. Throughout the whole movie Chris was thinking about not only his own future but also his son’s future. When he was a kid he never saw his father and at the age of twenty eight he meets him for the first time. Chris said, “I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. I made up my mind that when I had children, my children were going to know who their father was” (Gardner). This quote explains his dedication and how strong he was when nothing was going the way he planned he thought about his son’s future and changes his career so that he could provide for his son. They were hard times for Chris living on the street, having no place called home, and living everyday thinking how he was going to be able to provide for his son. Today Chris owns his own firm and will never have to think about how he will be able to provide for his family. Chris is a strong person because even when there was nothing to live for he stuck by and tried to make the best life and future for his son.
