昨天看了女性影展的「37 Arts 舞者紀事」。 之前在電視上看到許芳宜的特輯，就深深被她的毅力所吸引。正如我所期待的，許芳宜的紀錄片給我帶來了我所需要的激勵與靈感，還有更多更多無法訴諸文字的感動… 真不敢相信我竟然錯過了她今年初在台灣的公演 > < 她美麗的舞者的身體，加上布拉瑞楊的編舞，組成了一幅又一幅最美的畫面...

I’d like to share another story about inspiration and perseverance… I had just finished reading a book called 『The Last Lecture』 by Randy Pausch. Many of you may have heard of him or saw his clips on youtube. http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=DzSWWTlqsAw (with Chinese subtitles) I found his book very very inspiring and worth keeping at hand at all times as a reminder to teach us how to live our lives and to give us strength at times of weakness.

Randy Pausch died of pancreatic cancer in July 2008 at the age of 47. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Story?id=4614281&page=1

Randy’s children may not remember much of him since the three of them were all under 6 years old when Randy passed away, but I am sure they will grow up and see the videos he taped for them and read his book and be able to feel so proud of their father and feel so loved despite their father’s physical absence.
