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.
