Inspirational quote of the day


Will Smith


"You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can't do it. You want something. Go get it. Period!"
-Chris Gardner, (Will Smith) Pursuit of Happyness


Today quote of the day is very different from all the previous quotes, it is a passage from the famous movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness." It was said by Will Smith's character, Chris Gardener. I believe this quote is very important in a sense that it really addresses the conflict that a lot of people face when it comes pursuing their dreams. The moral of the movie, is that if you got a dream you have to protect it and pursue it regardless of what all the people around you are telling you or what your current situation may look like. For example, realizing that he wanted to become a stockbroker, he began to pursue this dream. This is because he saw it as a vehicle to provide a comfortable lifestyle for his family. However, he encountered a situation where he had to protect his dream from his wife who was very negative about this. Disregarding all the negative, Chris choose to continue on his way in face of all the discouragements that was enough to stop the average person right before they even start. At the end of the movie, he made it successfully to his destination, even though he had to lose his wife, his house, his car, friends and so much more in the process.
