Chapter 69 The Choice of Chris Gardner

"The Pursuit of Happyness" tells the story of Chris Gardner, a middle-aged family man who, due to a misjudgment, invested all his savings in a new medical product, the bone density scanner. However, this product did not bring the good times he imagined for his family. Because of sluggish sales, Chris Gardner had to hustle every day through various hospitals in San Francisco, striving to meet a target of at least two sales per month to barely cover his family's monthly expenses.

One day, he saw a man in a parking lot looking for a spot for his Ferrari. He told the man, "You can have my spot, but you have to tell me what you do for a living, and how?" The man said he was a stockbroker and told Chris Gardner that you didn't need a college degree to do this job, just a mastery of numbers and knowing how to interact with people.
