Randy Pausch, the Last Lecture

I'm glad wifey took up psychology for her degree in SMU. Its filled her with so much interesting tibits of information and of course she passes them on to me as and when its appropriate especially nowadays.

tibits like how your mind does affect your health in someway or another. like after we met each other we are happy and well optimism and laughter is actually the best medicine and that she has been less ill in the time she has spent with me. That's why its a vicious cycle really for those that worry or are pessimistic. In that they are worried and depressed and their mental health is suffering and that in turns bring their immune system down and they get more prone to illnesses which makes them even more sad and depressed.

It also brings to mind how you get what you project outwards in a way. Say you project yourself as happy and hopeful, then the world and karma seems to direct those that are like you, your way as well and vice versa. That interestingly seems to be the way my life has been, especially in the areas of work. Most of my colleagues that i have interacted with are usually the friendly and easy-going type or at the very least we can click and talk.

One of the good things that wifey brought back from class was this video clip about Randy Pausch. Click the below link to watch this inspirational video (76mins long so download and watching will be a whee bit slow)

Please go watch it and learn from it as there are very good meanings and lessons you can take away with on your road through life. It certainly provided me with a catalyst to work on something else also in my life and i hope that it will bear fruit in the coming years :)
