Have You A Fulfillment?

LOOK ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE!!

What? Why? Do I always have to?

I have just seen the video on YouTube after being reminded by my Managerial Accounting lecturer. It was our last class for the semester and he showed us a little of what he thought might give us a little spoonful of thought on what life is actually like. A video on quotes and a random addition to that - a video that had Nick Vujicic starred in. Nick is a motivational speaker. He hasn't any limbs but he sure is giving adequate emotional and spiritual support to the listener but only for a thin period of time. Let's look on the bright side shall we? Well, the the motivation will at least be elicited wouldn't it?

And as for the YouTube video, it was 'The Last Lecture' by Randy Pausch. Some say his lecture was motivational, well to bring down the fact, many. What was that lecture about meaningfully? His lecture was perceived and people were deceived to compromise that it was inspirational. It sure was. He dreamed of a list of things that he thought he could not achieve in real life, but where exactly is the struggle? Perhaps, him going through chemotherapy. And for that, the others were to give him a little more credit. You might think, "who is she to discredit this dying man". Randy might not have been the most motivational person, not even close to one. He is simply a man who has unfortunately been blown with cancer. It sure is a nasty one. All he's doing is just, looking at the bright side of things. Are you sure? He have not known of his cancer before 2006. And before, he wanted to give a lecture of what he calls, "The Last Lecture".

Does it really make any sense at all? I think, it was taken all too lightly. The subject was not much in depth enough to be motivational or inspirational. I could not feel anything except that it was just another ordinary boring lecture. I have been to a few motivational talks myself and I had ones that moved me a lot emotionally. To get others motivated, one needs to be motivated himself.

There is no such thing as totally being unafraid of death. There will come a time, maybe a few moments that one would think of what it is and how it is in the after life and of how things will go on without that one being an entity or an existence in the world anymore, be it virtual or in reality itself. One will realize and then repent. One would not stop repenting until the time one surges one's will again and continue living up to the expectations of what one will do before death. Thinking that, "Hey this is the last few moments I am having with the ones I love. What am I doing right now?" And so one does whatever one could do make the best of one's life.

Some would travel all around the world. Others follow their undesired dream of climbing the utmost highest peak they could possibly reach. Kilimanjaro? Mount Fuji? Of course, the adventurous hearts internally would pick a more challenging range of course - to step into the ring of fire and not literally, but as well to satisfy this raging want to fulfill a greater need before leaving.

What's your fulfillment?
