On Friday we had our first ever Mini Seminar film show (pictures after the jump). We watched The Pursuit of Happyness, a film starring Will Smith and his son Jayden. It is inspired by the true story of Chris Gardner, a man who successfully established himself as a stockbroker despite being a single father battling homelessness. He later went on to set up his own stockbrokerage firm, Gardner Rick & Co. Despite numerous preparations, we were still unable to shake of the technical issues bug - this time relating to very quiet speakers. We will get there! After obtaining a different set of speakers from the head office, we were finally able to continue. Because of time issues however, we were unable to spend much time on the discussion at the end. The film spoke volumes on its own though - the value of having a tenacious, determined spirit; of holding onto your dreams; of never giving up. As Chris said, "Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. Not even me. Alright? ... You got a dream... you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period."
