Share a recent movie or show with me. What are some values you learnt from watching it?
Response:


I would like to share a movie called The Pursuit of Happyness. It is a nice movie starred by Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith and it is actually based on a true story.


Here is the synopsis of the film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pursuit_of_Happyness

Some values that I have learnt from watching it:

1. Belief

Believe yourself and believe others. It may sound simple but yet it has great impact on yourself and others. In the movie, Chris Gardner believes that he has the ability to become a stockbroker even though he has no related experiences and qualification needed. If he thinks that he could not make it, he won’t achieve what he has now.His wife did not believe in him and leave him eventually.


Sometimes, all people need from you is to trust them that they could achieve their goal. We should not look down on them instead we should encourage them to go for it because it gives them strength to pursue it.


For example, I heard story about a secondary school teacher who believes in a boy who are perceived as “a bad student”. He gave up himself, did not care about his studies, often engaged in fights and brought troubles for his teachers. But the teacher never gives up on him and guided him with patient and love. Eventually, the boy is back on right track and very grateful to his teacher.


I like this part of conversation between Chris and his son in the movie very much.


It gives me the deepest impression among all the lines the movie. “Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period. All right? “


2. Hard work

Hard work does pay off. That’s what I firmly believe. It is not enough that you wish and believe that you can achieve something but you need to DO something in order to get it. In the movie, Chris has worked very hard for his dream. He has lots of job to do like to take care of his son, tried to sell the scanners and internship at brokerage firm Dean Witter Reynolds at the same time.


3. Perseverance


When you have worked very hard for a long time and things do not turn up as what you hope, you will have the feeling to give up. But instead of giving up, you could try harder or find other ways to achieve it. In the movie, despite of various setbacks, Chris never give up and keep on trying.



There is a nice story that I read before about perseverance. Once upon a time, there is a man who buys a piece of land that is rumored to have lots of gold in it. The man digs it every day hoping to find gold mine in it. But one day, he felt like giving up and thus he sold it to another man. Another man who bought his land continues to dig at the position that he stopped digging and he found the gold mine near it. He regrets giving up because if he persevere a little bit more, he could have owned that gold mine.



P.S: There is a copy of the DVD in school library if faci would like to borrow it ^^


其实在电影里还学了一个道理，就是对小朋友的一举一动，一言一语，要谨慎一些，譬如：

1.不要找理由说什么没有钱或带不够钱之类的话不给小孩买东西，因为这会让小朋友觉得钱是万能的。可以说：我们已经有了，说不需要买，或者 （大家有什么更好的借口帮忙想，我想用在我妹身上。。。）


在戏里，因为要去赚钱，所以小孩不能玩篮球玩的太久，那个爸爸就说：
hi..listen here..i believe u can excel in other things, not just playing basketball. I am sure u do..




2.让小孩抱着一些希望。在戏里chris对他小孩说：we might go to c the match. 虽然机会非常非常小，还是没跟他说。 we can't go..
