It's about a salesman with a high school education, who is down and out and suffers repeated disasters, but still has an "unrealistic" dream. His wife therefore left him. Repeated setbacks and blows, struggling to survive, did not let him give up. In the end he finally won and became a millionaire story.
I think a lot of people, if they haven't experienced embarrassment, might think this movie is too exaggerated. But I can see it. In fact, all the blows are not big, if we can have other options. But for him who is desperate, any blow can be fatal. In order to survive, he can compete, he can be cheeky, and he can violate public morals. Looking at his struggles like that, I feel that his subsequent success is nothing short of a miracle. In short, the first 4/5 of the plot made me very depressed.
His success, though a small amount of chance, may have been inevitable. Because:
1. He has a dream, and has the elements to realize his dream: smart, good at numbers and communication.
2. Perseverance, strong resistance, and never give up. As he said, Don't let people tell you that you cannot do something. Believe in yourself, you can do it.
3. Take every opportunity. Standing at the door of the company and sending your penniless resume to an unfamiliar supervisor, the probability of success is very low. But he could seize any ray of hope regardless of his dignity. As long as it is his own thing, he can fight for it with all his life (however, it is also his luck that he did not die in a car accident).
4. Work hard. In a competitive environment, he can save time by not drinking water or hanging up the phone. Many people may not be able to think or do it.
Live like a desperate Saburo. Don't give up even if your hopes are small. Everything will go fine. Add such a will to life and you will eventually get out of the predicament.
