last lecture

I think the Last Lecture is just the First Lecture that I have really read so far.
I was just looking around the book store trying to pick up a few books, and there I saw a book, which seems so familiar yet I don't recall I've read it anywhere before. The LAST LECTURE.

All my life, I had hoped to come across someone like Prof Randy, but I guess, maybe I was just too busy looking for someone perfect to fit in the bill of my perfect idol that I might have just missed out appreciating those who around me that had played an important role in changing my life and my way of thinking.

There a few insights inside this book that struck me real hard. Things about the brick walls, things about hard work and opportunity, things about relationship over material stuff, etc. It got me thinking about my dreams. Had I really been working real hard to achieve my childhood dreams?

I realised the older one gets, the more realistic (or maybe materialistic) your dream will become, like earning big bucks, buying big house. If you could just think back what your childhood dreams were and compared to the dreams you have now, is there a difference?

I guess not everyone is as lucky as Prof Randy students, but how many of us that would actually realised the value of another person? If only we had looked from different angles of a person, only we can know the real value of a person.

And how many of us can really recognized opportunity when it comes knocking on our door? There's a saying, opportunity doesn't come knocking twice. So, have you been checking on your door?

I'm now actually trying to view the Last Lecture of Prof Randy Pausch on You Tube, it's still loading. Even by just reading the book had brought me to tears, I wondered what will happened after I watched the video.
