The last three months of our lives

After I saw Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture, I went to B&N and bought the book. It is such a terrific book that squeezes your heart and brings out the deepest fears.  After I read the book, one question lingered my mind – If I had only 3 months to live, will I still be doing what I am doing now? I started writing down what all things I wanted to do in life from my childhood days and found out that I have not accomplished a single one so far. I have done other things that qualify as good, but a childhood dream is special because it is imagination at its best. As a child, we never think of problems and only think of possiblities. As adults, those possibilities and dreams get linked to problems and reasons what we cannot accomplish that.

I am an entrepreneur at heart. If I have found ways to implement some tough challenges against several odds in various phases of my life, I am pretty sure I will find ways to achieve what all I dreamed when I was a child. It is just time to adjust the sails and pace myself towards those golden dreams. :)
