I was reading a newsletter which we have every month and there is a part of article that caught my attention. Here the article goes:
Randy Pausch, a father of three kids was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was a lecturer at Carnegie Mellon University. This book is loaded with words of motivations and advices which he primarily recorded for his children as he know he will no longer be around to see them grow and advice them. He opened the eyes of the reader by making them realize that time is precious. In one of the pages he mentioned, "Time must be explicitly managed, like money." and "Ask yourself: Are you spending your time on the right things?”
With each advice he tagged a few paragraphs to make it clearer for the audience to understand. Among the others include:
· Don't obsess over what people think.· Don't complain, just work harder.
· Look for the best in everybody.

Here's a lil something I'd like to share with other female colleagues,
"When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it's really simple.
Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do." -Author's female colleague-
When I finished reading, the last part of the article is the one that actually caught my attention. From that moment, something flashed into my mind and asked "Does all the bosses really pay attention on what people do? People who can do the talking without working or people who can do the working and less talking?? Which one they are more focus on? I believe the talking part is represent as the "romantically interested in you" that mentioned in the article.
Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do, I personally don't think people practice this in anywhere! Tell me what do you think?

"The Last Lecture" is a book worth reading. I haven't yet read it, but people around me did and they shared me story about it.
Wow!
