In the opening scene you meet a man sitting on a bench waiting for a bus. He proceeds to tell the story of his life as to how he arrived at that bench. One listener gets a kick out of the idea that he's sitting next to the founder of Bubba Gump Shrimp, a millionaire. A bus is a humble form of transportation. When Forest finds out that his destination isn't far away, he saves a quarter, and decides to walk. He didn't take a private jet, a limousine, or even a taxi cab. Doing more with less is a good quality to have in a leader.
There was one lady for Forest. He patiently waited for her over the course of his whole life, throwing off things that didn't compare to the one love. In the end, his pursuit of that most important thing awarded him the woman that he was waiting for. If one remains true in leadership they can build a loyal union with people.
