In the scene of the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, Chris and his son Christopher are sitting at a booth next to a window in a full diner at night. The camera zooms in on them eating. As Christopher eats, he begins to stare at an African American family across from the diner. The family is laughing and joking around as they enjoy their family dinner. Christopher begins to become distracted with envy of the “happy” family. Gardner looks at him with a smile and the realization that they already have what the other family has, each other. Scene closes. There are many reasons why Chris Gardner achieves his goal of inspiration in this scene but I will list the three main ones. First, the system helped him out a lot. If it weren’t for transit buses, homeless shelters, and daycare there wouldn't be a movie called The Pursuit of Happyness about a man named Chris Gardner. The daycare provided a safe place for Christopher to stay, which gave Gardner the opportunity to work as an internship. The homeless shelter allowed them to have a safe place to sleep at night. So, they could at least have a good night of sleep for all the running the next day. The transit buses, like many people in the world, were able to help Gardner get around Chicago on a budget. He was able to save money for other important things like eating at a diner. Second, was the help received from others, when Gardner is standing in front of the Dean Witter and Reynolds building, he was inspired to become as "happy" as the people coming out of the building. He was also in a way given a second chance at the six-month internship interview. When he showed up with no shirt and they accepted him into the six-month internship anyway. Last but not least, Gardner's attitude and personality helped him achieve many roadblocks in his situation. He had patience, persistence, intelligence, communication, humor, self-confidence, and loving personality traits. All of these things helped him achieve
