Pursuit To Happiness


Success comes in can's, not cant's.  ~Author Unknown
Has anyone let down your dream that you been chasing your whole life? They just let your hopes fall and second guess your dreams, and what you believe in. No matter what they say don't fall down, just prove them wrong. You don't have to stop your dreams but you have to listen yourself no matter who it is, even your conscience.
In school we were watching a clip of a movie called "Pursuit of Happiness" where Will Smith let's down his son saying "You can't make it to the pros (basketball) because I didn't, so don't waste your time here everyday." That let his son down and he want to throw the basketball, but Will Smith stopped his son and told him "Don't let anyone down, not even me form chasing your dreams." I agree that if you let someone let you down something you may be good at may just go to waste, if you know your not good you'll tell yourself but no one will tell it for you. 
This relates to school because often we tell our peers they can't do something (as a joke) but that let's them down and makes them not do it anymore. I know a person who had not gotton on track because his mother said he wouldn't even run for two minutes. That kid particates in Cross Country nowadays. Don't let anyone ruin your dreams no matter how stupid they sound because maybe just that little hope inside of you will let you know that it can happen.
"When the world says give up, hope whispers try one more time."
If you give up your dream because you can't do it don't stop because you can.
Teachers can help this from happening because often teachers will judge a person by their habits. For example a person who talks a lot but is really smart. Teachers can give their students a chance.

This is an ispirational clip of the movie "The Persuit to Hapiness."





This is by far one of my favorite scenes of all time because it talks about the importance of having dreams, chasing them, and not letting anybody or anything get in your way.  It was true back then, and it's true today. If you have a dream in life, no matter how unrealistic or outrageous your friends/family may think it is, if in your own mind you believe it's possible, then go get it!
