『栀子花开』 [诗歌散文]The Pursuit of Happyness[/SIZE]
当幸福来敲门时,想必我们每个人都会跟疯了似的,尤其是当你经历了一个很长阶段的苦难磨练。
可是,当幸福来敲门之前呢?有多少人真正能够有勇气去面对眼前的这一切挫折和失败,尤其是要怀着一种乐观心态,与挫折和失败坚持抗争下去。
挫折和失败面前,有人打退堂鼓了,可有人却坚持了下来。
那些打退堂鼓的人,基本上只有一种结局:没有机会享受到幸福来敲门时的那种喜悦。
而那些坚持了下来的人,就能够和Chris Gardner一样,真正感受得到幸福来敲门时的那种狂喜,甚至最终忍不住,让泪水湿润了自己的双眼。而此时的泪水,早已不再是酸涩的、苦楚的。
没有人不想让幸福来敲自己的门,可是,却不是每个人都能够和Chris Gardner一样,在面临事业不顺,生活潦倒,妻子离弃,花好几个小时的时间去教堂排长队而争取得到教堂救济的住房,甚至贫穷到要去卖血,才能勉强维持自己和儿子一个月的生活的情况下,却从没有放弃过,甚至还不时地鼓励儿子不要灰心,要乐观。
幸福的生活最终没有抛弃Chris Gardner。Chris Gardner最终凭借自己的努力,脱颖而出,不但获得了股票经纪人的工作,而且后来创办了自己的公司,成了不折不扣的百万富翁。
虽然,Chris Gardner的经历并不是每个人所经历过。但是,幸福的生活来源却都是一样的。幸福生活前期的挫折和失败,是每一个人所一定会经历过的,只是,却不一定是所有人都能够和Chris Gardner一样,如此乐观地坚持过来的。
很多时候,我们在期盼着幸福来敲自己的家门时,却忘记了在这之前,什么东西是我们必须付出的。即使知道该付出,却也不一定能够持之以恒。结果,只能眼睁睁地看着幸福从我们的窗前溜走。
影片有好几个场景让我颇有感触。
场景一:Chris Gardner和儿子躲在地铁候车室的公厕里过夜,怀里抱着睡得正香甜的儿子,门外却有人不停地推门,这条汉子看着睡在怀里的儿子,终于忍不住不停地流泪。
对于Chris Gardner来说,这绝对是最酸涩的眼泪了。他的生活可以说穷困到了极点。可即便如此,Chris Gardner始终没有放弃。第二天醒来,他一如往日地继续着他的骨密度扫描仪推销以及证券公司实习生的工作。
场景二:Chris Gardner和他儿子在篮球场上的那段对话,You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.
听似简单,其实却有着很强的震撼力。深陷生活困境的Chris Gardner不仅没有让儿子去感受他所深陷的那种生活困境,反而是用乐观地语气教育儿子,不要灰心,一定要乐观,努力去追求梦想,才能让梦想变成现实。
场景三:从为了争取到证券经纪公司的实习机会,仅为高中毕业的Chris Gardner凭借着自己的执着和努力付出,以及不放弃每一个有希望可能的机会,他最终从20名实习生中脱颖而出,成为一名正式的证券经纪人。
这六个多月来,Chris Gardner的付出,让我们再一次相信,机会是靠自己去争取的。优越的工作也只青睐于有准备和有付出的人。想想现实中的我们,别的不说,一听六个月的实习是无薪的,估计大部分人马上就打退堂鼓了。可Chris Gardner却坚持下来了,在克服期间一切困难的同时,却也努力地去抓住每一个有希望的可能的机会。
……
就情节而言,整部影片其实非常简单。但表现出来的主题却是非常震撼人。Chris Gardner父子勇敢和乐观地挺过一个又一个的生活困境所折射出来的那种精神,给人带来的已经不仅只是感动,更多的是应该是鼓舞和震撼。
幸福的生活的确来之不易。生活的挫折和失败谁也避免不了。但是,在面对每一个困境时,倘若我们都能够勇敢而乐观地挺过去,那么,幸福的生活就真的会来敲我们的门。

精彩对白 Chris Gardner:You have a dream, you got to protect it.
克里斯加德纳:如果你有梦想,就要守护它。
Chris Gardner:People can’t do something by themselves; they wanna tell you you can not do it.
克里斯加德纳:当人们做不到一些事情的时候,他们就会对你说你也同样不能。
Chris Gardner:You want something. Go get it!
克里斯加德纳:有了目标就要全力以赴。
Martin Frohm: What would you say if man walked in here with no shirt, and I hired him? What would you say?
马丁:如果我雇佣了一个没有穿着衬衫走进来的人,你会怎么说?
Chris Gardner: He must have had on some really nice pants.
克里斯加德纳:他一定穿了一条很棒的裤子。
There is an I in "happiness",There is no Y in "happiness",It’s an I
幸福的幸里面是一个“幸”,不是一个“辛”。或者理解成,Y=Why=为什么,I=我。幸福里面没有为什么,只有我。
I’m the type of person,if you ask me a question, and I don’t know the answer,I’m gonna to tell you that I don’t know.But I bet you what: I know how to find the answer, and I’ll find the answer,.
我是这样的人,如果你问的问题我不知道答案,我会直接告诉你“我不知道”。但我向你保证:我知道如何寻找答案,而且我一定会找出答案的。
What would you say if a guy walked in for an interview without a short on and I hired him? What would you say?
He must’ve had on some really nice pants.
如果有个人连衬衫都没穿就跑来参加面试,你会怎么想?如果最后我还雇佣了这个人,你会怎么想?
那他穿的裤子一定十分考究。
Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something, not even me.
别让别人告诉你你成不了才,即使是我也不行。
You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves,they wanna tell you you can’t do it.If you want something, go get it. Period.
如果你有梦想的话,就要去捍卫它。那些一事无成的人想告诉你你也成不了大器。如果你有理想的话,就要去努力实现。就这样。
--You gonna trust me, all right?
-- I trust you.
Thomas Jefferson mentions happiness a couple times in the Declaration of Independence. May seem like a strange word to be in that document, but he was sort of… He was an artist.
Lord, don’t move that mountain, give me strength to climb it. Please don’t move that stumbling block, but lead me , Lord, around it. My burdens, they gets so heavy, seem hard to bear, but I won’t give up. Because you promised me. You’d meet me at the altar of prayer.(唱诗班的动情演绎)
The pursuit of happiness
Last night I watched a movie called the pursuit of happiness. The movie is about a bright and talented, but marginally employed salesman, Chris Gardner, who works very hard for going out of the lowest of his life. His wife walked away. So he has to take care of his son. He tried to get a new job. He and his son even loved in a toilet of a subway station, and he tried to finish his work early so that they can get a free bed in a poor house. For him, life is really not easy, but he never gives up. So finally he got a good job and his life also changed.
I think the secret of his succeed is never give up! Face the unchangeable situation and the unfair status in society, Chris didn’t complain like others. Because he knew that he couldn’t reform all the irrational rules and regulations, the only way to pass the difficult situation is to give his best shot what is we should learn in our life.
In the realty, you may be successful. You are pretty. You are rich enough. You’ll be transferred and promoted. But have you ever ask yourself a simple question:Are you happy? Seems everyone has his or her own trouble no matter how rich they. I seldom think about this seriously. Seems I am always happy, sometimes I also have trouble though. I have a happy family. I have many good friends. My major is what I enjoy. I feel content about what I have, I really do. And I think what I should do is cherish all what I possess.
I won’t live in a way what all the rest do. Perhaps it is effective. But I think the process of living is more important than the consequence. All the splendid information is in the process. What are many people don’t care. They always work hard to pursue what is called result, even not care if it is what they want.
If we want to have a bright future, if we want to live a better life, if we want to live a better life, if we want to succeed in obtaining. So please make it clear what you possess present. And the most important is never give up.
Pursuit your dream, you will happiness!
