The Last Lecture - what would you say?

There are limitations in my ability to eloquently introduce Dr. Randy Pausch.

We all have a use by date. Unfortunately, we don't know what it is. Dr. Randy Pausch was given a best medical guess - and it was 3 months. Here he is sharing his unique message with students and faculty of Carnegie Mellon University. The lecture series that he is invited to talk in is ironically called "The Last Lecture."

Imagine you are sitting in this lecture theatre and now see the world as Randy sees it.

This talk has been seen by over 3 million people around the world and counting. Randy has touched millions others with his message on Oprah, Good Morning America and more recently with the release of his book "The Last Lecture".

Suggest you keep a full hour and fifteen minutes free to enjoy the whole piece, then have your children do the same, or your loved one. I promise you, this has the potential to change your life.

Three against Poverty - What about you?

Our dear friend Wolfgang Sonnenburg, joins Nobel Laureate Mohamed Yunus to eradicate poverty from the planet. Having known Wolfgang longer than I have know Mohamed (I have not met him yet), it seems to me that Mohamed has joined Wolfgang's crusade.

In the final analysis, it matters little who joined who. I am delighted to join these two gentlemen and that makes three. The one thing that will make a difference, is if you join the crusade too.

Here is a 15 minute interview to give you a better understanding of what the issues are, and some solutions that they explore together.

We invite you to come join in this endeavor to make a difference.

All that is required is a willingness to explore ideas, your decision to make a difference and commitment to action.

Go on, click the comments below and say "Count me in!" and share your ideas with the global community. We will let you know the next activity we are doing together.

Come join the crusade - because together we can.

What's your signature that shows "I was here" ?

A young boy, Ryan, is moved to do what he believes is necessary to make a difference on this planet.

Inspired by Nobel Laureate Mohamed Yunus, who talks about the concept of micro-credit and the experience of running a social business. As he says, it better to empower women by investing $1/- to start a business that generates a return rather than dis-empower her with $1/- in charity that she will always be dependant on.

I love it when he says "Trust her" and she will live up to that trust. Core values that we seem to have lost along the way in our western society. I am grateful for the inspiration in this video that finds these core values in our midst once again.
