maybe this could be an on-going thread for motivation and inspiration.. i don't know, just an idea.. if you know of other stories, feel free to share them here. one of my friends sent this to me and i found it really touching. i used to avoid listening to stuff like this because it made me feel depressed.. but now i see them through a different lens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4HGQHgeFE"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4HGQHgeFE
this video is very inspirational, i think... it makes me want to change the world lol... it works best after watching all of zeitgeist and watching it lead up to this point but i love this vid https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=83396DC8365C777F&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&v=zqYLrT_IM20

Wow dazed, that video was VERY touching. I have tears in my eyes now haha. I find the book The Last Lecture to be VERY inspiring and touching. For those of you who don't know about it.. here's the site for it http://www.thelastlecture.com/ Randy Pausch was a college professor in Pittsburgh. He had pancreatic cancer and only had a couple months to live. In those months he wrote The Last Lecture, and gave a lecture about living life to the fullest, and he also wrote about things that got him through the hard times he's had while he had cancer. He died 2 years ago Here's the video for the last lecture he did at Carnegie-Melon.. I think everyone should watch it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo"]YouTube- Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
Uplifting! Makes one realise that petty moaning and self pity about fairly unimportant things is a waste of time. This guy rocks!
wow thank you all for posting and sharing things of your own! i'll be watching them all today glad it touched you guys, too.
no offense.. I think the whole randy pouch was just a class room asshole.... With no real common sense of whats going on in the Real world.. A Veterans point of view.. Sending your kids to war isnt my Idea of dreams come true.. come back like the guy #1 going to the VA hospital and you cant help but no go back there if your able to walk on your own 2 feet.. Its enough to piss you off..
he came to my school i think junior year but i didnt see him cuz it was an assembly i couldnt go to. it was more touching the first or second time i saw it. interesting that St Stephen mentioned zeitgeist cuz yes it gives a big inspirational buzz. and its not the same as this video. its not fluffy and cry-ey. :coffee:
