Last Lecture

Things do not necessarily happen for the best, but some are able to make the best use of it.

If I was asked to give my 'last lecture', what would I be talking about? Hmmm...
As I mature( don't quite like to use the word OLD), i began to ask myself this question, what is meaningful to me? What motivates me to get up in the morning? After a tiring day at work, what drive me to the second part of the day, that is, cater to my family?

Professor Randy Pausch was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine his last because he was diagnosed with terminate cancer. He shared his views on the importance of overcoming obstacles and seizing every moment.(we may one day find that we have less time than we think).

It is about living our life, not just going through the motion of life. Have we pause and slow down to smell the roses?(Yes,literally). To enjoy and appreciate the little, little things around us? Especially our love ones? For me, I am learning to look at things with a new perspective and not take things for granted as if i will see tomorrow.

Maybe, is time, we pause and think.
