[graywarrior]

what is your reaction?

I kinda sorta didn't like it....just telling the truth here.

1. I didn't see it...

I've watched the lecture, even though it kills me, and I really like it. I haven't seen the Dateline though.

I'm really trying to be a Tigger and not an Eeyore though. :hi:

2. There was something about it that bothered me

I really think his entire message rocks, but there is something about the hype that ruined it for me.

5. Ignore the hype and pay attention to the message

I think it's particularly relevant to you and me. ;)

:hug:

7. Especially you and me.

10. Wait...

He uses Disney imagery in his lecture to motivate people? My proverbial supreme being, it's even lamer than I thought. I refuse to watch it. But I've read his bio and a summary of the lecture. The part I saw, he was wearing a Disney polo and talking about how his whole dream was to work for Disney, which he achieved.

11. Ah, thanks. nt

[arcadian]

6. Thank you so much!

I feel the same way about that. The only thing keeping people from their dreams is that "they don't want it bad enough"? That is just monumentally LAME.

8. I watched

Most of it was a repeat of the first two interviews. I have known only one other person who was okay with dying from cancer. She had a great sense of humor to start with and was an amazing woman. I'm not much for a self pity party, but I'm not sure I could be so peppy. As a mom, my heart aches for the children.

9. Yeah, the loss for those kids really gets to me

12. Just watched the whole lecture...

F'ing brilliant... http://youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

What a loss, not only to his family, but to his students and colleagues.
