Chris Gardner writes an extraordinary biography in his book Pursuit of
Happyness giving inspiration and hope to, not only those less
fortunate, but any person wishing to have a clear focus and success in
his or her career.

Synopsis:

In the 1980's, Chris Gardner (Will Smith playing an Oscar-worthy role)
becomes a struggling salesman who can barely make the ends meet to
provide for his wife and son. During the times of hardship, his wife
loses trust, faith and hope in him and leaves the family behind for
Chris to raise his son. Continuing to struggle, Chris becomes homeless
along with his son but never once thinks of his son as a burden.

One day, Chris was drawn to a unique opportunity ("God's call" as Chris
calls it) at a brokerage firm for an unpaid internship. Driven by a
burning desire, passion, focus, determination and persistance, Chris
wins the internship, rises up from poverty, and plays a greater
remarkable role at this prestigous brokerage firm as a stock broker.
Later in life, Chris becomes a multi-millionaire establishing his own
brokerage firm which currently grosses over $100M a year.

The Asian daycare center misspelled the word and Chris got bent out of
shape over it.
