Pursuit of Happyness

In leadership we are analyzing the Pursuit of Happyness. I have seen the movie before but it is interesting to go more deep into the movie and look at the steps it take for Chris Gardener to get motivated to become a better person and climb up the scale of stockbroking, from the bottom to the top. He is in poverty and can't make the essential needs for his family. He goes through the up and downs to meet his goal. So what makes us get motivated? for me personally, I have to  see my weakness that needs to be fixed. In other cases I like to pursue something I am passionate about and set small goals to reach it. I can also be motivated by an experience that changes a view or a belief that can be a good or bad experience. Once I am truly motivated I believe I can reach any goal with hard work and dedication.
