Long, but worthwhile viewing. Sage advice from a dying young man who’s experienced a life most people who are 80 would envy.
There are certainly some incredible people in this world. That was very moving and I am going to remember that “brick wall” analogy. I think it is very true.
very touching. i can tell he’s an amazing professor and person. thanks for posting
