A video to quit complaining!



I know I've spoken about how people tend to complain and bitch about their lives when instead they should be taking responsibility for their circumstances. The people who move forward are the ones who ask "What can I do to move forward?".

So to re-enforce my point, I've posted a video clip from the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness". The movie is about a down on his luck character (played by Will Smith). Due to a few bad decisions in the past - his wife has left him and he has been evicted from his home. He loves his son to death and has to send his son to a day care center while he works. He's the kind of guy that needs a break but hasn't got it.

So he decides to join a stock broking firm that promises some serious money if he comes out top as the best sales person among his peers. The competition is tough and he is handicapped because he has to leave early to pick his kid up from day care on time.

So check out what he does to make up for the time he loses and pay specific attention to how he doesn't complain about his circumstances. It may seem like he's hard work isn't paying off but if you watch the full movie - you'll see that he turns out pretty ok. Very ok in fact :)

Enjoy!
