The Last Lecture
Now we are at the last day of the year and it has really been a fruitful year for me. Since my last post in July, I have been to wonderful places like Cairo, Egypt and also Jordan. And, during these trips I have managed to visit the Wonders of the World such as the Pyramids in Egypt and Petra, Jordan. I am really amazed of the work done by the people that build the pyramids and also the Petra’s rock buildings in Jordan. Here’s some of my photos of the pyramids and Petra:
So, I was thinking if we, human beings can really build these wonders thousands years ago, we can even create more wonders. If you have visited Dubai, UAE before, you will know what I mean. They have all types of man-made wonders there. Highest building, largest made made islands, etc.
We have so much power to create ‘Wonders’ if we seriouosly put our mind together. Therefore, in the last moment of the year I would like us to create more ‘WONDERS’ for the world. For the last few months, we have more bad news than the good news so instead of us worrying, complaining,… Let’s focus our energy of making next year a better year.
Lastly, I would also like to share with you a video below. This video is the actual “Last Lecture” given by Randy Pausch in Carnegie Mellon University. This is a must watch or you can also purchase his bestselling book. “The Last Lecture”. Randy has just passed away not so long ago and this book is written when he found out that he has only a couple of months to live and he was going to give his “last lecture” to the world. Instead of talking about his sickness, he actually talked about his stories of fulfilling his dreams and how he helped others to fulfill their dreams too. Go watch this hour long actual “Last Lecture” now below and tell me how you feel… HAPPY NEW YEAR!
