The Pursuit of Happyness

The Pursuit of Happyness is a movie, a true story, based on Chris Gardner.
That "y" in happyness is because we want people to think about what makes "you" happy, what's the source of your happiness. - Chris Gardner

The movie is about the struggle one goes through in life to fulfill ones dreams. But you can only relate to it if you've ever gone through one of those phases in life..

Ever had dreams to achieve something? Aim..Ambition..Aspiration (little as it may be, important to you)
Ever had to struggled for it?
Ever prayed...desperately?
Did you hold on to that little bit of hope...wanting a better tomorrow?
With each passing day, did the dream seem to slip away from your hand and fall to the ground?
And as more days passed by did you feel its not only on the ground but someone mercilessly trampled on it?
Ever felt the loss?
Ever cried bitterly in total helplessness?
Ever wondered ..complained.. questioned...lived the misery?
Ever ever sat, totally blank, without any movement just tears rolling down ?
Ever looked up at the sky and longed for a miracle?
Ever reached a point thinking your dream might turn out to be your worst nightmare and feared you might fail...but tried hard to push the negative thoughts out of your head?

And when you fought your fears to find a better day, when the dark clouds suddenly vanished, the joy you didn't know how to express with a sudden sense of peace within...
You know you survived.
