Friends, see this man, Dr Randy Paush, who was a Carnegie-Mellon professor and was in his forties. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2008, 
but before that he wrote a book 'The Last Lecture”, one of the bestsellers in 2007. What a legacy to leave behind...
In a letter to his wife Jai and his children, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful "guide to a better life" for his wife and children to follow.
[b]May we all here in mylot, be blessed by his insight?
Hence I am sharing. Please read and share our thought.
Thank you so much in advance. [/b]
Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead.
Here is what he said. POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
Personality:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
3. Don't overdo; keep your limits
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
6. Dream more while you are awake
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more
14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Community:
15. Call your family often
16. Each day give something good to others
17. Forgive everyone for everything
18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
19. Try to make at least three people smile each day
20. What other people think of you is none of your business
21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.
Life:
22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.
23. GOD heals everything
24. Do the right things
25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
27. The best is yet to come
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it
30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.

hi professor what a great discussion I love it and these points from
tha professor are so wonderfully clear. In reading it I have become
more inspired to make changes in my own thinking and ways of'
behavior. I love the one about hate. I struggled so hard under
the mantle of my undying hatred of my father for what he did as
my beloved parent to me at age8 as I know now and thought then
no father should ever make use of his own trusting little girl
just because he was needy and the mom was in the hospital; it
only happen once as he hurt me bad physically and I was so scared
'of him I never ever let myself be alont with him in a toom. so yues I really really hated him. that hatred was making me actually pnysicallyu
ill. My dear husband insisted I should tell my father that I had had enought with hating him, and wished to be forgiven, also I asked him whyh he had molested me. for that he would mot look at me straight in the face or answer the question. But p rofessor from that day on that weight was gone from my shoulders and more to the point from my heart.
Also my husband was smart as he told me do not come home with your work, leave it at work, now you are here with me.tell me 25. is that true However good or bad a situation, it will change, 'as thats a sticking point for me as Iwas thrust here at this retirement center simply because we were homeless and had been evicted from our apartment as my son was laid off. We ran out of money and thuswere behind on our rent. Its been two years and only a few months ago my son had a part time job but his boss now just wants him one day a week.so is this bad situation ever going to change to good? I see the best is yet to come so I do have hope? I will not just rot in here but will be able to move into an aparment again?I do thank God every monring for my new package of a bright shining day. lol lol

If only more could actually live by some of these, especially those about letting the past be the past. Learn from what our life has given us to move forward, not backwards.. That is so important, yet so so so many hold and use the past to gain in whatever they can get.
I like this list of thoughts to try and us in our life. If we could at least try and do each of these throughout our life, what a change the world could go through.
We can hope

Those are all beautiful tips that we should all follow in our lives. I especially like the one that says to spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of six. When my grandmother was still alive, I feel like I was very blessed in my life that I was able to spend time with both her and my daughter who was three at the time on a daily basis. I really think that enriched my life in ways that I would have never imagined that my life would be enriched.

Thanks a lot for sharing these guidelines. I do not really save much these days. But I saved this page in my word processor. I'll definitely look at these rules (this is the filename I used) each time I'll be facing difficulties. Thanks again.

This is a great read. Haven't read anything eye-opening for a while now. I don't know this person but what he had written is simple and life-changing if you follow every bit of it. He's right with "Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what they're going through" or something like that. I often compared myself to other people like I often say "what can he do that I can't". I often use it as a motivation for me if ever I can't do something right and someone can. I breakdown his processes and learn from it. Although I don't take into consideration what he had gone through why he came up with the process. It's right that we all have different childhood and I should take that into consideration.
