‘Each morning we are born again. What we do today, is what matters most.’ Buddha
Intellectually we all know it. One day we will die. It’s not a reality we allow ourselves to get too caught up in, though. It’s more important to make time for living. But sometimes that reality lands on the doorstep, an untimely thud, and ready or not, you are left with one choice, how to deal with it.
I’d like share with you, the inspirational story of Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He died of pancreatic cancer, some years ago at the ripe old age of forty-seven. With a wife and three children, and in the midst of pursuing a successful career in science, he would have been forgiven for thinking he had many years ahead of him.
But he didn’t!
He could have been forgiven for being angry.
But he wasn’t.
