“It’s one of my new years resolutions”
Posted by Shane Clevenger on May 5, 2008
This is a statement by Randy Pausch in his book “The last lecture”.
If you don’t know about the last lecture, check this movie out.
So why is a small quote about new years resolutions a big deal to me?
Well this man was given 3 months to live, and yet in the first week of January he has a goal to be better within the time he was given.
When I look at my life the fact is there are many, many days in which I become complacent and lose site of the big picture I have for my life and my family.
This quote hit me hard, and really made me crystal clear on the fact that all I have is “NOW”.
The power in all of us is in this very moment.
In Randy Pausch I see a man who is forced to live everyday of his life like it may be his last, but the truth about Randy is is that is how he lived his life before he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
What an example for all of us.
I for one am truly changed by this man, and his insight into life and family is something I will never forget.
I urge you all to Read “The last Lecture” by Randy Pausch.
It is written in a conversational format, and a true classic by a truly great man.
