Be Healthier, Wealthier, and Happier

Dear Friends,

I got this e-mail from my buddy in Salt Lake City.  Before this email, I have no clue who Randy Pausch was; fortunately I took his suggestion and watched the ABC Prime Time interview. He is a Carnegie Mellon University computer science Professor who created Electronic Art Center in the University which become the gold standard for all electronic art industry.  You can watch the video below to get details on his bio.  FYI, he is 46 years old I think.

After watching the interview, I realized what make Randy truly special is not just his contribution to the computer science field, but most importantly his perspective on life and how he lives his life.  What an incredible person, what an inspiring story, what a power message and what an enlightened teacher!  Indeed, as my buddy Dave said “There are lessons to be learned for all of us!”  I remember a mentor told me once: “When the student is ready, a teacher will show up to guide the way”.  So are you ready to receive this message, to learn from him and apply what you learned from him in your life RIGHT NOW?  While we may never have a chance to hear his lecture live (because he is dying), thanks to internet, we can still learn from him, spread his messages, and past on his loving legacy.  

For those of you who missed the Prime Time Interview,  I went on the internet and found this link:

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/LastLecture/  I hope ABC will maintain this link for a while.

For those of you who want to see the full version of “Last Lecture” (and that’s me for sure) here is the link:

PLEASE FIND A QUIET PLACE AND TIME TO WATCH IT AND SHARE IT!  (note: you may need to cut and paste the link onto your browser instead of clicking it directly)

Hint:  If you’ve gone through it and you find yourself said “I already know this, I already know that…”  then you probably “missed” something :-)  Knowing is one thing, getting and living it is another :-)  Knowledge is only an amusement and sometimes be used to brag and stroke our ego, it serves very little.  On the other hand getting it and living it,  wow! that’s powerful!  So, don’t shortchange yourself!

Love,

Alice
