Randy Pausch. What I learned from him.

In the end.



... all of us will eventually leave this world. It is going to happen. Maybe an hour from now, or maybe in 5 years time.



More important than figuring out our 'expiry date', is how we are going to fill that count down moment in our lives until our time is up.




Is it too late to change who you are? To get what you want in life?



The answer to that is easy.



No, it is not too late. As long as you know who you want to become.
Not changing your look. Or changing your clothing fashion sense. Those are not important.



We are talking about SUBSTANTIAL matter here.



I have come to realize recently in identifying what is important in my life.



What do you want to do with your life?



List them up.



And do it.



Make it happen.



But don't wait too long. Because one day you may find out that you have lesser time than you think you have.


Thank you Randy.

its not easy to decide between your needs and your wants and to know what is important in life. like a fish that needs a bicycle it has no intention of riding.

well its good that you did.

Zara: Keep the spirit burning. Make it an eternal flame. Get some burn mark.

DwD: More like a fish who got a scuba suit & oxygen tank as a gift.
