This video is a little long. 1 hours 44 minutes. The front introduction might be a little dry to some.

 

It made me tear. Feel very touched and inspired.

 

If you have the time, I would highly recommend you to watch!

You can go straight to the part where randy start to talk. That is most exciting part.

It is the thing that we should all do. With the two tiny hands we have... to make the life of others around us a better one. A good reminder to everyone here that there are good things around, not just gloom.

 

I didn't know what was CMU until I watched the video. Have to agree with Randy about enabling the dreams of others. Its inspiring, especially the thing about the wall. Walls are there somewhere somehow. The only stumbling block is us.

 

Guess all these comes with age.

Don't know what his children after growing up will think after watching the video. Quite sad of him to leave his children behind.

 

Anyway, now I keep feeling inspired about the wall thing also.Everytime I feel there is a setback i remind myself it is to keep people out.

I'm very inspired too. Life is as such... fragile. Must live out what we dream of, all the way to the very end. Don't wait until all is too late.

 

After I watched the video, I felt that there is so much to do. The hesitation that was stopping me from doing stuff just seemed to have disappeared.

10Q for the clip. Can the mod stick this?

[Jayk]

So you are going to do something really soon? What will you be doing?

 

I have gotten my ass moving also. Will be continuing to hold courses & trying to setup up small biz also... ...

Court the girl I like. Procrastinated for too many years.

 

Heading for the job and aim to be a better mentor.

Thanks for the link. Very good video.

 

Brick walls are to test how badly you want something - now that is something that we hear so often in motivational material, yet when we face it in reality, some get weary and deviate from their goals.

 

Life is truly about living, not whining about problems but really standing firm with your heads up, conquering the multiple challenges that WILL come to you no matter what.

When did he die bro ?

[Ravebyte]

upz... emotional....

[Jayk]

He hasn't die yet if I am not wrong. Not much days left to live though.

 

Very sad. He is a good speaker and a bright mind.

Thanks for sharing....

 

The most touching part is the time where he celebrated his wife birthday with a surprise....

 

His talk has inspired me.

[Hoppe]

hmmm....life.

I am in my mid 35s now and beginning to face some life crises myself.

 

Life is really fragile. Be happy with what you got right now.

Don't be worried. Keep going and go back to your religion for spiritual pillar support.

 

Today's papers state that Singapore men on average (today) can live up to 70++. But, I doubt all will hit 70+ and still be able to post on mcf (if mcf still around then).

 

Cherish today and give whatever you have to your loved ones. Thats probably the best we can do, while we are still alive and well. Don't wait till one leg in the coffin.
