We could all learn a lot from this guy, take 10 minutes of your time and watch the video.

Saw it when it aired on ABC. And people think Obama's a dynamic speaker with a message...

Look at it this way: They got to experience living with and being influenced by the guy. It sucks to lose him so early in life, but they were immensely lucky to have him around as much as they did.

Very true, it's just unfortunate that a guy like him is dying with 3 kids when there are loser parents out there that don't care about their children. But I agree, they are still lucky to have him.

I will be a better person for having heard it, assuming I act on what I've learned.

Yea. Good message. If it were me though, I would be at home with my family not out giving more lectures.
I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something.  - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

Top notch video and great advice.  My grandpa passed on after pancreatic cancer spread to his liver.  Healthiest man I knew, too.

His credibility went out the window when he said we landed on the moon.

Very powerful speech.

I'm amazed that he could hold himself together so well. Shame that someone like that has to go sooner when he probably could have done so much more if he was allowed to live a "normal" lifespan.

Glad you guys liked to too. I figure if watching this helps somebody live their life in a better way even the slightest bit then that's a good thing.
