The Last Lecture

Well if you have not read this book or watched this video, I definitely recommend that you make the time to do so. If Randy can be this upbeat, positive and wise while expecting to die a painful death in < 5 mths, leaving behind his wife and young kids, what excuse do any of us have for being depressed, frustrated, hopeless, etc. We must put our challenges into perspective and look for those silver linings.

As for "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams". Randy did it right... He wrote his dreams down and kept them in front of him. I did this about 5 years ago and am slowly ticking off the ones that still interest me. It is very fulfilling and rewarding. So take some time, write them down and get going!!!

Thoughts?

Good idea. Get started on that "bucket list" while you can still do some of those things, before your bucket gets too rusty.
