Thanks for sharing this - his glass is half full, his life, although apparently
to be short, is full. A lot of great ways to look at and live life.

You just have to live life that way, or it can eat you up. I learned a long time ago while alone on my boat for extended days at a time for months. To be grateful for what I have, and not worry about what is not mine. I saved Randy's speech for a time when my morale needs boosting.................

Stole it. Worth it. My big brother died of pancreatic cancer four years ago.

Looks Like someone was nice enough give this guy a ride.

Picture and comment taken from his website: http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/news/index.html

For Mother's Day, we managed to arrange to have Jai get away for a night in a local hotel, where she was able to sleep in until 9am; a truly rare treat for a mother of three little kids!
We also took a spin in a "kit car" of a 1965 Shelby Cobra

John,

Thanks for sharing that with us. I believe without doubt that is one of the best and most touching talks I have ever heard. He is truly an inspiration to anyone who hears this.
