Tiger or Eeyore?
admin April 23rd, 2008
I just listened to a dying man’s lecture. His video has been all around the world. He is dying and has two months to live or less. He has pancreatic cancer. He is married and has three children. He has lectured his students at his college. He gave his last lecture just recently. He stays positive and teaches as such.He said,”We ride someone about doing better, because we care about them and want them to do better.We don’t leave them alone and not care about them. —————These things are very caring and show that we should be kind, loving and caring of others, no matter what. If it takes someone a long time to get into whatever it is that is better for them, that means we are just supposed to be patient.We don’t necessarily have to like it, but we should be patient. He said there are 3 things we should all do 1- tell the truth, 2- When we screw up ,apologize 3- wait and show our good side. We should always show Gratitude. When times get tough, work harder!!! This man said the reason why he gave this talk was to realize that if we live properly, dreams then will come to you. ———I thought this was a great message. He has not much time to live, but he said in this life we can choose to feel the way we feel. We can choose to make lemonade out of lemons, or we can feel bad for ourselves and be a sour puss about anything and everything. In our lives we can choose how we react about things, we can be happy or we can be in a bad mood all the time. Nobody can fight things off all the time, that is a given, but we can make a difference in our own lives and others. Like he said, we can be a TIGER or we can be an Eeyore. Which will we choose.? I hope we can all try to do better. It is like having some one cut you off on the freeway, you can scream out the window or swear under your breath at them, or something worse OR you can just be on your way and think of something that makes you smile and realize that there are worse things to worry about. Or you can face things in your everyday lives that you can really make better, like instead of yelling at the kids, you can take five minutes of your time and ask them face to face what you can do to help them or just give them a much needed hug. Kids grow up way too fast and pretty soon you will be wondering where those fingerprints went on the wall and instead of cleaning them up you will be wishing they were there to look at and remember the sweet little hands that put them there and the memories that went with them. Life is too precious to waste our time holding grudges, being dishonest, or cruel or worrying about things we cannot change, but that we can be an example of Kindness, happiness and positiveness and love for everyone, especially our loved ones .If I ‘m not mistaken , this guy who gave this talk really sounds like he is either a man of great strength, because he know why he is truly here on this earth, or he is LDS and believes fully in the gospel and that is where his strength comes from, but either way he is a good example of how people should be. He is a kind and good man, and he wants to share and pass those good feelings on to others like we should too. Anyway , I hope this will touch each of you in some way., it did me.
