Really cool and inspiring lecture. If you've got an hour or so to spare it's definitely worth a watch. He died yesterday from pancreatic cancer. So... try feeling for a guy who actually did something worthwhile with his life and forget about drug abusing actors for a bit, kay?

| | | I saw him. He was awesome... the ultimate example of the attitude people wish to have and should strive for when they die. His family is really going to miss him. | |

The end when he explains the "head fakes" brought a tear to my eye.

| | | | His speech and personality reminds me of a philosophical character from a movie called The way of the Peaceful Warrior. Granted the book was much better. But because of the way he presented, I did not feel like crying, but instead grateful. | | Loveforum Breaktime | | | | Loveforum also recommend - Green tea - Help in weight loss and decrease rate of getting cancer.
