The U.S. economic crisis of 1981. Tens of millions of people have lost their jobs and people's lives have been difficult, and Chris is one of them, a bone density scanner salesman. Although the accuracy is more accurate, the price is very expensive, which causes Chris to often hit a wall, therefore. The wife had to work two jobs to pay rent and little Chris's tuition.
Chris walks on the road as usual, but is attracted by a luxury car. He plucked up the courage to ask the owner: I have two questions, what line do you do? What to do? "I'm a stockbroker." Do you need a university diploma"? "No, having good communication skills is as simple as that."
Chris back home. Made up my mind to become a stockbroker. The wife complained about Chris, why not become an astronaut? Ignoring these complaints, Chris came to the personnel director of the Werther company and said how much he longed for the job, and the supervisor just casually agreed, of course Chris knew that this was only perfunctory, he did not miss any opportunity, and took the excuse of the way to get into a taxi with the personnel director. Along the way, he tells his own experiences. And the supervisor is indeed playing with the Rubik's Cube, because the Rubik's Cube has just appeared, the supervisor can't even spell out one side. Chris took the Rubik's Cube and quickly restored the Rubik's Cube to six sides. This made the supervisor look at him differently, the supervisor got out of the car, looked at the amount of the meter and his wallet, he chose to escape, he could not afford to pay the fare, all the way said sorry, sorry.
While on the subway, my wife called to tell her to leave the house with her children. On the bus home. He thought of a sentence from the Declaration of Independence: Maybe happiness can only be pursued, but it can never be pursued. Back at home, Chris was dazed and overwhelmed, when the phone rang. It was the call from the head of personnel informing him to come for an interview tomorrow. He was told the phone number for the interview, but he couldn't find a pen at home, and Chris kept repeating the phone number, writing a string of numbers in the commissary that could change his life.
He rekindled his desire for his dreams, and he took back the child, but was defeated by reality, first the landlord urged the rent, so that the evil man said that he used to help paint the wall for an extended period of a week. And the police knocked on Chris's door. It turned out that he hadn't paid for the ticket and Chris was forced to stay at the police station for one night.
The next day, Chris didn't have time to change clothes and rushed to the securities company for an interview, surrounded by people in suits and shoes, only himself was sloppy. However, his wonderful performance in the interview won him the opportunity of internship. But Chris hesitated at this point, because he didn't have a penny of salary during his six-month internship and had to compete for a position with 19 people at the same time, which was a big gamble for Chris. He said he went home in the evening to give a reply to his supervisor and went home.
The wife is going to work for her sister in New York, hoping that he will be able to take care of the children. Looking at the child on the bed, he called the head of personnel, and he needed the opportunity. So they moved to cheaper hotels. Playing with his child on the rooftop, but telling him the cruelty of reality. Chris Jr. has no athletic talent and can't become a basketball star. Little Chris dropped the basketball angrily, and Chris told his son:
Don't let people tell you that you can't make it, even I can't.
If you have a dream, defend it.
Those who don't get it done, want to tell you that you can't become a big tool.
If you have an ideal, try to achieve it.
In the remaining days, Chris learns how the company does things during the day and continues to sell his scanners in his spare time. In order to develop more customers never put down the phone, even the time to drink water must be saved. But two months later, he didn't even finish a list. But he never gave up. When he got to the phone of the big boss Rebben, he was unlucky that he was temporarily arrested by the supervisor to park and missed a meeting with Rebben. But the loss and panic swept through Chris's heart, he went to the door to apologize to Rebben, the last time he did not go to the appointment because of the accident, begging the other party to give him and the company's trust, Rebben invited him to watch a rugby game, Chris took the opportunity to introduce his stock products, and also met a lot of rich people. During his internship he brought 31 single businesses.
Another letter left Chris completely bankrupt. His money was taxed, only 21 yuan were left on the account, and the landlord kept asking for rent. He finds a friend who wants to get his last money back but is prevaricating. Back at the hotel, Lee was cleared out by the landlord, the door could not be opened, and he helplessly took his son and the only remaining machine to the subway platform. He tells beautiful lies and lies that it is a time machine. They came to the age of the dinosaurs, they had to hide in the cave, so Little Kles obediently lay next to his father, and at this time Chris's tears came out of his eyes.
In order to maintain his life, Chris helplessly sold blood, exchanged some machine parts, repaired his machine, and soon sold the machine as he wished. They also stayed in long-lost rooms.
And the last day of the internship also came, the president, the head of personnel received him, he was admitted. He didn't laugh happily, but his eyes were covered with red blood, and all kinds of emotions surged into his heart, and in the crowd he raised his hand to applaud himself.
"When Happiness Knocks" is a movie that many people have seen, "When you think it's the most difficult, it's actually when you're closest to success." "Some people say it's poisonous chicken soup, and some say it's their own story. Poison chicken soup, or your own story. He can really make you find resonance, let you really see your own shadow, let you understand that when happiness comes knocking on the door, you just need to keep trying.
Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, but that is often the result of hard work.
