Words Aren’t Adequate

May 02, 2008, in Miscellaneous by

Do yourself a huge favor. Grab some popcorn or beer or whatever floats your boat. Give yourself an hour, and watch. 

I feel pretty small right now.

If you’re interested in the book, The Last Lecture, click here.

If you’re having trouble with the YouTube video, which pauses in some spots, you can click here and watch it via Windows Streaming Video or Google Video. I recommend the Windows Video version, I didn’t encounter any blips with it. You can fast forward to about eight minutes in when Randy begins his presentation if you choose the Windows Streaming Video. Whatever you do, watch this in its entirety.

    I know what you mean, SigGal. Thank goodness I found the video early in the morning because I was so moved and inspired, I watched it TWICE. You just can't turn away.

    Excellent. The best hour I've spent watching something this week, actually much longer than that. Thanks for recommending it. Very inspiring and empowering.
