It made me think about my work around Equality and Diversity and Inclusion!
Plot goes something like this!
In 1981, in San Francisco, the smart salesman and family man Chris Gardner invests the family savings in Osteo National bone-density scanners, an apparatus twice as expensive as an x-ray machine but with a slightly clearer image. This White elephant financially breaks the family, bringing troubles to his relationship with his wife Linda, who leaves him and moves to New York where she has received a job in a pizza parlor. She wishes to take their son Christopher with her, but Chris refuses because they both know that Linda will be unable to take care of him. Without money or a wife, but totally committed to his son Christopher, Chris sees the chance to fight for a stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter Reynolds, offering a more promising career at the end of a six month unpaid training period. There are nineteen other candidates for the one position. Meanwhile, he encounters many challenges and difficulties, including a period of homelessness and troubles with the IRS (Tax issues).
Using the movie as a metaphor for broadening our horizons.
The Pursuit of Equality
What do YOU stand for? What are YOUR values and YOUR principles?
What if l am promising you everything and nothing simultaneously?
What kind of country, neighborhood, and community do you want to see and what are YOU going to do to get it?
If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.
What do you think?
Does it matter?
