Do watch this clip... It is very meaningful... This lecturer appeared on Oprah's show.
This lecturer has cancer and was going to die soon. He gave a lecture, named as the "Last Lecture", before his life is up in a few months. It was being recorded and downloaded by millions. He reflected about his life, was thankful to his parents for a fun and happy childhood. He spoke about his parents, how he grew up having dreams, how he choose to live life, etc...
He ended off with a very touching note. He said something like "I gave this lecture not to a group of 400 university graduates, I only gave this lecture to 3 people. Hopefully they will see it when they grew up" In the background, it showed 3 young kids. His kids...sob sob...
Why I say it is very meaningful because how many times can we choose to die and live as and when we want? The answer is none because when death comes upon you, you can't run away from it. The only thing you can do is to how to maximise your remaining days. You can choose between live with positive or negative mindset till the day you leave this world.
It also makes you reflect upon your own life now... spend a few minutes watching it and think about your own life... Rethink about how can you make your life happier and more meaningful and living with lesser regrets in life...
