A review of the Pursuit of Happiness
“The Pursuit of Happyness” was released on the 15th of December 2006. It is a dramatic story based on a biography of Chris Gardner’s nearly one-year struggle with homelessness. Directed by Gabrielle Muccino, the film stars Will Smith as Chris Gardner, and co-stars Jaden Smith playing Chris’ son, Christopher Jr. For Will Smith’s performance in the film, he was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Actor. The ‘different’ spelling of the title, ‘Happyness’ is seen by Chris Gardner on the building outside the play centre is son attends, which Chris reminds the owners of the building multiple times that it is spelt with an ‘I’.
The film shows us the struggles Chris Gardner has with homelessness. He is bankrupt because he invested his life savings in portable bone-density scanners, which he thought hospitals would be interested in buying, but in the end hardly any doctors wanted one, as they considered it an ‘expensive luxury’. During the struggles, his wife Linda leaves to go to New York and Chris and his son are left in San Francisco with no income and living in a motel. Chris sees interest in become a stockbroker, but to become one he has to go through an internship. Meanwhile, Chris and his son are evicted because they can’t pay rent, and they are forced to go to a homeless shelter, and even one night had to sleep in the bathroom of the underground rail system. During his internship, he never once mentions his financial struggles and at one point he is asked to give one of his bosses 5 dollars for a cab, a sum that he can’t afford. After an intense six months, Chris is taken into the bosses’ office, and is offered a job as a stockbroker, the final scene shows him being in unbelief of the position he was offered and showing his happiness and gratefulness for the opportunity, Chris realises that his financial struggles are over as he now has a job with a regular income.
Christ was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not understandable at all (though she has her own difficulties and was in bad luck with his business. But he was very fortunate also, for he got a son who was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life experiences always make a great person. It is said that this movie is inspired by a true story, and I want to say, this movie does inspire me a lot. What impressed me most are: Christ’s wife left him because of life pressure; Christ’s love to his son and Christ’s strong belief towards life. Through these, I know that it is not easy to be a good husband and a good Papa, since in reality, only love cannot only make everything. And I also learn that one has to strongly believe in himself, no matter how difficult the situation is, but of course, hard-working is indispensable.

小学时候,天真烂漫的我十分“义气”,因此人际关系也真不错。逐渐长大的我头脑似乎“机智”了一些,常去占同学们的小便宜,朋友越来越少。这时的我才如梦方醒,原来只有真诚待人,别人才会真诚待你。
刚上初中,我的同桌是一个看似个头高大,却有一些“缺心眼”的人。旁边学习好的我在他眼中真是一位好帮手,常露出一脸傻笑的样子,向我请教题目,对我十分信任,有好处常与我一同去分享。而我那“机智”的脑袋却发现有利可图。
一天上学,我把新买的进口修正带到处炫耀,正巧被我那同桌发现了,他问我借过去用,然后如获至宝地把它托在手心里仔细欣赏。我内心十分满足地问他是否十分喜欢,他使劲地点了点头并傻傻地请我替他买一个。我的心突然一动,灵光闪过,于是用高一倍的价格卖了给他并认真地解释:这个是进口货,价格高一些正常。他十分满意地一笑,还多付了我一些,作为代购费。
我常把这件光荣事向别人讲起,有许多人一脸不赞同地说我太狡猾了,我却常认为这是有商业头脑。
这样的事还有许多,同学们纷纷有些“害怕”起了我,说我处处爱占小便宜。有些人在和我说话时心中也有些防备。我的好朋友只剩下了几个,却惊奇地发现更多的人愿去和我同桌交朋友,他不就是缺心眼,受骗时还若无其事露出一脸傻笑的人吗?
有一天我看到一篇关于交友的文章,里面说道:交朋友需要以心换心,只有真诚待人,别人才会真诚待你。我内心深处猛烈地一震,我不就是因为太爱占便宜才会这样的吗?回想起同桌是怎么待我的那一幕幕,我的决心越来越坚定。
改变别人对我的看法确实不容易,但我却越来越明白真诚待人的重要。我们不应该用更多的这样的“机智”去“帮助”别人;真诚待人,别人才会真诚待你。
Dear Sir,
I am writing to seek your advice regarding which subject I should choose as my major, history or computer science. I am studying in the last year in high school now.
Next year, I hope that I will be able to enroll in your college. I began to take a special interest in history when I was a primary school student. I can still remember the historical stories my teachers told in class, so I was wondering if I should continue to study in your college. However, several days age, one of my friends told me that computer science is more popular nowadays.
As a matter of fact, many jobs need IT skills. I was advised that it’s more important to find a job than merely to satisfy personal interest. Therefore, it is now very hard for me to decide which subject I should choose. Must I give up my favorite subject and take employment need as a priority? I would be more than grateful to you if could tell me your advice about this. Your early reply would be highly appreciated.
Yours faithfully
Wang Rutao

真诚,好似一把燃烧的火,温暖冰凉的人心;信任,好似悄悄来临的春天,让紧闭的花蕾瞬间绽放。
自从成都闪亮的王冠上多了“文明城市”这颗明珠,我发现身边真诚待人,信任别人的事越来越多了,我就遇上了。
“三八节”上午,我急匆匆地赶到沃尔玛商店,为妈妈和婆婆挑选礼物。我在一个小店里挑来挑去,最后把选好的礼物放在了收银台上。一位年轻、漂亮的姐姐招待我,我看着她那张洁白娴静的脸儿,心里在想:多年轻的姐姐啊!应该不过20岁吧?我边想边说了一句:“请包装一下,行吗?”姐姐含笑对我说:“行啊!你要什么包装纸呢?我建议你用那种枫叶包装纸,美观,而且才一元呢。”姐姐待人真诚的品质一下子打动了我,我同意了。
姐姐的手灵巧地翻飞着,两三下就让礼物“穿上”了别致的枫叶“外套”,我简直看得入神了。“来,小妹妹,好了,拿着吧。”姐姐柔和的声音打破了沉默的气氛。“喔,多,多少元?”我有点不知所措。“二十一元。”姐姐笑眯眯地回答。我打开钱包,却发现只有二十元!我又赶紧翻了一遍,还是没有新发现。我难堪得无地自容,怎么办?怎么办?礼物已经包装了,总不能现在才说不要吧。我急得像热锅上的蚂蚁,不停地捏着衣角。姐姐察觉出了我的不安,关切地问道:“怎么,钱不够吗?”我低着头,脸红得像柿子,小声答道:“嗯,还差一元……”没想到姐姐接过钱,说:“我相信你,小妹妹,回家取吧。”说着把礼物轻轻放在我的手里。我的眼眶里含着泪水,有感动、也有释然。回家后,我急忙取出零花钱,赶回商店,没想到小店的营业员已经换班了,我始终没能对姐姐说上一声“谢谢”。
虽然后来我再也没见过那位美丽、善良的姐姐,但她柔和的声音和真诚的态度永远铭刻在我的心中。
真诚,这个词对当今社会的一部分人来说,似乎已经不那么时髦了,有些人认为,人与人之间根本没有什么真诚可信,人都是自私的。于是,许多中学生受此影响,也开始学期那种圆滑的处世态度了。但是,我认为,只有真诚,才能换取友情和信任,一切虚伪的东西终究会被人们所抛弃。
作为一名学生,更应该懂得真诚的对待同学。我们不是经常搞“学雷锋”活动吗?雷锋曾经说过:“对待同学要像春天般温暖。”我们也要像他那样,要怀着一颗真诚、坦白、热情的心去对待同学,这样同学也会以诚相待的。如果你处处想到的是自己,那么时间一长,就没有人会信任你,你会感到有一种被抛弃、被冷落的孤独感。可是,要知道,这苦果是你自己种下的,你又能怨谁呢?
在这个千变万化的大千世界里,有无数双眼睛、无数颗心灵期盼着这至高无上的友谊。友谊,能唤起人们的美好向往;友谊能使你永远欢乐;友谊能使你在失败、挫折中奋起;友谊能使你顺利地达到成功的彼岸;友谊能使你愉快地走过一个个人生驿站。但是友谊的源泉在何处?怎样才能得到真正的友谊?关键在于真诚待人。
“让真诚之心撞击出友谊之花吧!”我们芝麻卡上有这样的一句话。千万颗真诚之心撞击在一起,就会燃起熊熊的友谊之火,这友谊之火将地久天长。长路奉献给远方,白云奉献给草地,浪花奉献给大海,露珠奉献给小花。那么,我们拿什么奉献给我们的同学,人生的\'价值就在于奉献真诚。
亲爱的同学们,请永远记住,奉献一分真诚,得到一分友谊;给予一分虚伪,得到一分孤独。请无私地把真诚奉献给你的同学们吧!
