Rabbi Twersky was born ninety years ago as a descendant of a famous Chassidic dynasty, the Rebbes of Chernobyl. It was the deceased’s final request – to sing this song at his funeral. They sang the well-known Chasidic tune, hoshiah es amecha. This was a funeral with a small attendance, and it was strange because the deceased was accompanied on his final journey with a happy song. This wasn’t the funeral with ten thousand participants which garnered international coverage. This past Sunday, a strange funeral took place in Jerusalem. What was the key to his work? Childhood Lessons Abraham Twersky was a person who worked his entire life to help people reach happiness. “A successful book (screen play) is not made of what is in it, but what is left out of it.” In this case relationship information left out allowed a broader spectrum of viewers the opportunity to make a closer connection with the lead character. I was surprised to find that the show did not say or do anything to lead the viewer to think that they were married instead it left that conclusion up to the viewer to personalize the story to them. From my own life experiences was also led to believe that Jackie was his wife.Īfter coming to the understanding of Gardner’s relationship situation, I watched the show again, I love that show. Someone in a different situation might assume that they were just living together, never legally married.
John, people like you and I, who are either married or grew up in a family with married parents, are biased to view the marital situation differently that the actual story. He left his wife Sherry so that he could be the father he never had the father to the son that him and Jackie were about to have together.
Jackie was an affair that he had on the side.
#PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS SONG MEANING MOVIE#
Chris Gardner was never married to Jackie, years prior to where the movie began he as was married to Sherry. In what way does your statement confirm Mark Twain’s comment? In the word wife. Based on a true story, the movie is about Chris Gardner, a man in financial difficulty who is trying to raise his son alone after his wife leaves him.” “One of my favorite movies from recent years is The Pursuit of Happiness, starring Will Smith. The confirmation statement below was taken from your website. John, you unintentionally confirmed one of the many ways in which Mark Twain’s quote is correct. “A successful book is not made of what is in it, but what is left out of it.” People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it. Here’s the text of the speech from The Pursuit of Happyness, written out like a poem – the way speeches should be written. Indeed, it has the following five traits, all of which are all hallmarks of a great speech:Ī great scene and a great lesson about public speaking and life in general. Smith’s speech, which it is set out below, is only 40 seconds long, but there is much than we can learn from it when it comes to public speaking. The result is this speech that begins at 1:10 of the clip: Smith, who has seen his own dreams shattered over the years, realizes that, instead of discouraging his son, he should teach him to protect his dreams. It is a scene in which Smith manages to find a little bit of time at the beginning of his day to play basketball with his son.Īt one point, Smith tells him that he will probably not be very good at basketball and that he shouldn’t spend too much time on the court.
In today’s post, there is a short clip from the film. It is very moving and Smith is terrific in the main role. Based on a true story, the movie is about Chris Gardner, a man in financial difficulty who is trying to raise his son alone after his wife leaves him. One of my favourite movies from recent years is The Pursuit of Happyness, starring Will Smith.
