Really cool and inspiring lecture. If you've got an hour or so to spare it's definitely worth a watch. He died yesterday from pancreatic cancer. So... try feeling for a guy who actually did something worthwhile with his life and forget about drug abusing actors for a bit, kay?

I saw him. He was awesome... the ultimate example of the attitude people wish to have and should strive for when they die. His family is really going to miss him.

His speech and personality reminds me of a philosophical character from a movie called The way of the Peaceful Warrior. Granted the book was much better. But because of the way he presented, I did not feel like crying, but instead grateful.
