Its really tough being him. He later succeed attaining the job and in the later years, he set up his own investment firm and become wealthy.

some quotes that are memorable such as this following (taken from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454921/quotes)

Christopher Gardner: It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?

Christopher Gardner: 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.

Now im having this goal, of being able just to set off in a position in the financial industry...i do not wish to give up till i try whether im suitable for this work in this sector. Comparing the pitfalls bet Christ and me, haha...i seem so weak...afther viewing the show, seems to give me some hope.
