Last Lecture
Prof. Randy Pausch's Last Lecture. A MUST see.
Randy Pausch a Carnegie-Mellon professor delivered a “Last Lecture” to his students (he is struggling with pancreatic cancer) that has become a media sensation.
I watched this Last Lecture, and understood immediately why so many people have felt motivated to tell others to watch it:
Well, I guess he caught the attention of JJ Abrams (Mission Impossible, Cloverfield, StarTrek) among others, and what happened then... well, read for yourself...
Hi there -- I'm JJ Abrams, director of the new Star Trek movie.
I read about you and your condition, and ALSO your affinity for things Trek.
So, I just wanted to put the invitation out there -- that if you had any desire to be in the film (can't promise you role as CAPTAIN, but... we could do SOMETHING!), it would be my honor and pleasure.
The last thing I want to do is intrude, so feel free not to reply -- but I wanted to make sure you knew that, if you are willing and able, the door is wide open.
I hope that your treatments are going well and that we get to meet one day.
Best,
JJ
I guess while we're at it, let's watch JJ Abram's presentation at TED:

"Time Management" by Randy Pausch
Time Boxing
By fixing the amount of time we spend on a given set of tasks, we can focus on doing the things that matter, give us motivation to start, prevent overruns and use our “null” times effectively. In contrast, if we worked on things until completion in one sitting, we’re less likely to start on complex tasks, more likely to overrun on open ended tasks and leaves us with less time and motivation to work on the next set of tasks.

Happy New Year
“Love is from the beginning and it lasts till eternity.
The seekers of love will be infinite.
Tomorrow when the Day of Justice will appear,
whoever who is not in love will be rejected.”
“Set a fire in your heart from love,
Burn all thoughts and statements.”
God stayed and everything else left,
Be happy, oh fierce love, the burner of all our ills.”
Rumi

Description:
Bible Boom in China
In China it is known as the “sacred doctrine” and it has become one of the country’s bestselling books. Yet it has nothing to do with the thoughts of Chairman Mao and its teachings have been in conflict with the forces of Communism for generations.
