Talk: Really achieve your childhood dreams

Ah Keong sent me the link to this inspiring talk over msn this morning. Although the talk is more than an hour long, it is worth taking the time to listen. Why? When a person is close to dying, you would expect nothing but the honest truth from him and that is the situatioon facing Dr Randy Pausch, who at the time of the talk, had another 2-3 months life as he was diagnosed with cancer.

There are many nuggets of wisdom in the talk and I think I would dilute the essence if I would to summarise anything here. But rest be assured that this is no end-of-life self-pity, instead it is a positive look back on one's achievements and the realisation of the goodness of life and people, if you do things the RIGHT way and wait LONG enough. Enough said, enjoy the trip.
