Definitely strikes a chord. I think I'm going to save that link and watch it from time to time.

Every now and again I find myself telling a little white lie here and there about something or another. Whether it's to save someone's feelings or to avoid trouble if I was too busy and neglected to do something at work, regardless of whether I took care of it in the end and nobody was the wiser. What he said helped me in rethinking that. It was a tiny little part of what he said mid-way through about one of the hardest things you'll have to do is tell the truth, but I don't think there's anything more valuable.

 

Oprah sucks... but props to the guy with numbered days. I'm thrilled that I already had a profound understanding and respect for the values that he mentioned in his lecture. I hope others can learn from his misfortunes.

 

You have a "profound understanding" of a lot of things this morning

Can not stand oprah, so found it on youtube. Worth a once over, would have like to have the guy as a teacher.

 

Well, you better hurry. Sure doesn't sound like he's going to be around much longer.

 

Having problems today M?

 

What you guys saw on Oprah was nothing. This is the real lecture.
