The Last Lecture

I have noticed, in the last couple years, there have been a lot of things out there that deal with the ultimate question - what would you do if you knew you were dying. From the song, "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw to movies like "The Bucket List." I don't know if it is because the events of Sept. 11, 2001 forced us to realize our own mortality or if it was something more benign than that, but the result is the same - to take an introspective look at our own lives and become better people.

One such journey into the realm of self-evaluation and fulfillment that I have recently come across is from a professor at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh and is a true story of one man's look at his own accomplishments and how each of us can shed our inner "Eeyore" to become a "Tigger."

So, I encourage you all to make the time to watch this video. I assure you that you will be touched and you will have a whole new outlook on everything in life. The title of the lecture says it all - Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.
