Wow, weird. I just read this book (The Last Lecture) with my seniors. Most of them really loved it. Awesome stuff.

Like many others, it was hard NOT to watch the entire thing. Absolutely beautiful. One of the very few videos that inspires someone to choose a career path they love and not for the job security or money. Because if it is something you love then the brick wall is only doing you justice. Very rare to see anyone with his condition so full of joy and life. Bless him and his family. Thank you for uploading this.

I actually found out that brick walls are made of glass. They are meant to be shattered. -Michael

I've never heard of this man, but he really was a great person. This is something every person on earth needs to watch, and learn from. Completely inspiring, and it hasn't really made me want to get seriously back into magic...but to just be a better person in life. Who knows? That may be by doing magic?

Thinking I would just watch the first 10 minutes of it I was hooked to watching the whole thing. Very inspiring and uplifting. I like his concept of the brick wall and will think about that every time I think about quiting what I love. The ending gave me goosebumps. Thank you so much for uploading this. It changed my way of thinking.
