Professor Randy Pausch is the professor and father of three that has been making the media rounds with his inspirational “Last Lecture” as he is dying of pancreatic cancer. A dear client, who has had her fair share of loss in life, forwarded the video link to me, and I absolutely must pass this along to you. His talk is not morose, it is incredible and a must see! The link below takes you to his 11 minute talk on Oprah.
He says, early in life we must decide the question: “Are you a Tigger or an Eeyore?” Tiggers are energetic, optimistic, curious, enthusiastic, and they have fun. Professor Pausch exhorts us to never ever underestimate the importance of having fun. He says: “I am dying soon and I am choosing to have fun today, tomorrow and every other day I have left.”

Recommendation #11: Share your story.
Submitted by SunbridgeLegacy.com
Your family history connects you to other families and other historians. People tracing their own family histories might discover a lead in yours. A scholar might find anecdotes about your family that will help bring a historical study to life. The critical step is creating an accurate, well-documented family story or history and helping other people locate it.
- Type up your family story or history and send it on an email or regular mail tour through the family.
- Create your own family history website.
- Find out whether your local library or historical society collects family histories and offer to donate yours
- With other family historians, ask your local library or historical society to begin a collection of local family histories.
- Link your family history website to the appropriate spot in USGenWeb, at www.usgenweb.org.
