"The last lecture"

"You can hear every lecture in two sense. Its you who need to decide which way you want it"

A nice video, deserve to spent 10 minutes to watch it, and don't jump to see the last, you will miss all the beauty.

Last Lecture reprise by Randy Pausch on Oprah Show

Victory ...

There are many victories worse than a defeat - Anonymous

Have you ever cried (felt sad?) after winning and jested on edge of loosing ?? I did. I was playing a TT match yesterday (Hon, I started again!), though I won the match convincingly but there was no fun in that. To say the least I felt I shouldn't be playing there or at least teach something to my opponent by giving him some way. I remember those days in Novell when I play with this orthodox, crazy ( .... and talented) player, where matches were very interesting .....a nice experience. Those were really exiting matches.

I lost many,,,,many of them, but none without giving a strong fight. I saw that in his eyes. Its not that I lost all ..... I won a good number of them 'n' I didn't won by someone's mistake or someone is loosing that; I won by my way. I know he will accept this point; and the one that even he was a Novell champion, I hold him the way no one did. Fearlessly, full of fight, strong challenge, power to power, mind to mind.

That was the time I smiles even after loosing match, coz I know I put up a good show, and sometime nailed few teeths. Someone ask me, after one of that wonderful day of match (when my defence and attach proved stronger most of time ;) ); "how you attack and return his shot so well?" In the joy of time, I only got Federer's quote:- "I fear noone but respect every one"

I would rate some on those losses much above than few wins here in new place. Really few victories deserve a trash can.

"While listing down, I would rate a defect against a warrior higher than a win on a botcher. "
