From YouTube - stuck on the escalator

Mar

Almost all of us have childhood dreams: for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don't achieve theirs, and I think that's a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I've actually achieved most of them. More importantly, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU's Entertainment Technology Center (etc.cmu.edu), of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams. This talk will discuss how

WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE MAN YOU ARE. NO WORDS CAN EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU RIGHT NOW. NOT PITY, NOT SORROW. I FEEL THE GREATEST ADMIRATION FOR YOU. THIS SPEECH IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFTS YOU WILL EVER LEAVE YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN. MY PARTNER DIED OF CANCER AGED 35 YEARS. YOU WILL BE OK, YOU WILL BE OK. YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN WILL HAVE THEIR TIMES BUT THEY WILL BE OK AS WERE MY CHILDREN. WHAT A WONDERFUL SOUL YOU ARE AND YOUR LIGHT WILL SHINE IN THE HEARTS OF MANY PEOPLE FOR EVER. WHY YOU, I ASKED WHY YOU,WHY NOT SOME EVIL MURDERER. WHY YOU, MY ANSWER WAS BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU WE WOULD NOT GET TO SEE PURE GOODNESS,BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL SOUL. AS WILL YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR WIFE. YOU WILL BE OK YOU WILL DIE BUT YOU WILL BE OK. THANK YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF A VIEW INTO YOU LIFE. GO SHARE THE TIME YOU HAVE LEFT IN PEACE WITH YOUR FAMILY. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

ALL MY LOVE JULIE

I read "My Stroke of Insight" in one sitting - I couldn't put it down. I laughed. I cried. It was a fantastic book (I heard it's a NYTimes Bestseller and I can see why!), but I also think it will be the start of a new, transformative Movement! No one wants to have a stroke as Jill Bolte Taylor did, but her experience can teach us all how to live better lives. Her TED.com speech was one of the most incredibly moving, stimulating, wonderful videos I've ever seen. Her Oprah Soul Series interviews were fascinating. They should make a movie of her life so everyone sees it. This is the Real Deal and gives me hope for humanity.

The New York Times Sunday Newspaper on May 25 had a great two page article on Jill Bolte Taylor and her book, "MY STROKE OF INSIGHT". Her book is a must read and this NY Times article - called "A Superhighway to bliss" is worth checking out too.

i received the book for mothers day. i have been giving myself a pity party for my own health problems but non are like this. may god give you strength. you need to know that the day will come when your children will read your book and be so proudof what you gave them and all of us. hope for a loving future thats all around us we just have to look. your wife is a great inspiration. i will never forget that. i will now seek out what i want to do at 56 years of life. thank you very much and thank your family for letting us be apart of their family for a while. things like this are not forgotten. my prayers are with you and your wife. your kids will be ok they have a great role model.

I've been recommending a book by Jill Bolte Taylor called "My Stroke of Insight" to everyone I know. It's an amazing story, both uplifting and powerful on three levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual, but the spiritual aspect alone makes this the best book I've read all year.

How often do you get to hear a neuroscientist describe having a stroke, nearly dying and finding Nirvana, and then making a miraculous recovery so that she's back to teaching medical students!?!

I came away with a renewed sense of understanding, wonder and hopefulness about the capabilities of the human brain. I give "My Stroke of Insight" highest marks!

You can get the book for just $16.47 with free shipping from Amazon!
