A Father Lived…Like He was Dying!

29 07 2008

Randy Paush is a remarkable husband and father of 3 children.  He faced a death sentence from pancreatic cancer with incredible courage.  He immerged  quickly from self pity to self triumph.  The doctors gave him less than 6 months of good health.  He beat all estimates, He lived well, and He died well.  He saved the best for last in talk that has been heard around the world

I am amazed at what one can be accomplished in a short time.  Randy became armed with the wisdom that he was going to die and changed the world in less that a year.  He was only a father for 7 short years but learned quickly as a father you blaze a trail for all who follow.  He gave his “last lecture” for his kids.  He becomes our first legendary member in the extraordinary league.

 

How long we live shouldn’t be all that matters,  We are all terminal.   Start Living like your Dying.   Like the tip?  Keep the change!

If Super Heroes can’t be Happy.. is there any hope for us mortals?
