freedom train quote from The Pursuit of Happyness

To get true happiness and a sense of freedom in life you have to work hard and the goal may seem like a mountain (difficult) but there is also a deep mountain inside you — your inner struggle.

To succeed you need to overcome both these mountains, what is outside and your inner self.

10. Probably means there’s a good chance. Possibly means we might or we might not

Probably means there's a good chance. Possibly means we might or we might not quote from The Pursuit of Happyness

The words you say have different meaning based on your current reality. Use positive words to reflect the journey to success.

Others may look for all kinds of ways to diminish your worth quote from the pursuit of happyness

This one is actually self-explanatory but has a deep meaning. It talks about the power of self-belief which allows people to achieve extraordinary results.

This has happened so many times in the past with some remarkable people who seem remarkable because of their sheer willpower and self-belief.
