The Last Lecture part 2

We watched the actual lecture today.
I never thought I would learn a life lesson in a lecture.
It is hard for me to even believe that he had cancer due to his optimism and pride.
I almost cried when he said the day before was his wife's birthday and he came out with a big birthday cake and suprised his wife with 500 people saying happy birthday to her. He included that the lecture he was giving, might be his last.
I found it odd though that even when he talked about the brick walls and always being optimised about over coming them and tearing them down, he didn't seem to take his own advice about his cancer. He didn't seem like there was any chance he was going to beat it and that even with the therapy he was given, there was no hope.
He didn't seem to be as much of a fighter as other people I have seen and met with cancer in my own personal lifetimes.
But that is just my opinion.
