Go to this link when you have some time, and listen to this guy if you haven't already seen it. Kinda puts your perspective on life where it should be.

This is a professor who was told he had months to live. This is his "Last Lecture." Pretty Awesome Stuff.

If the link gives you trouble just go to youtube.com and search Professor's Last Lecture.

Here are a few of his words of wisdom:

"Be good at something, it makes you valuable."

"The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people."

"Don't complain. Just work harder."

"Anybody can get chewed out. It's the rare person who says, 'Oh my god, you were right.' As opposed to, 'No wait, the real reason is ...' We've all heard that. When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it."

"You just have to decide if you're a Tigger or an Eeyore. I think I'm clear where I stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate. Never lose the childlike wonder. It's just too important. It's what drives us."
