Randy Pausch's Last Lecture: What's your take on either the lecture itself or the book?
I never heard of it before. I'm going to watch it now though.
Stuff like this scares the hell out of me because mortality scares me and I generally think that past age 27, I've been a pretty unhappy person who has neither a personal passion nor dream. This speaks to dreams and passion and being one who has them, not how to develop them.
Strike that, I'm definitely menstrual and currently out of my head. Apologies all around, it hit me out of the blue and now I'm a bit embarrassed at completely losing myself for a moment there.
Don't be embarrassed. I'm proud not to have a dream. I'm watching Randy's lecture right now. He's a great salesman (as his boss [someone] Van Dam said) but I'm not buying.
