Quote
She knew that my cancer diagnosis was grim. And yet, as she wrote in her email, she was moved
by how contented I seemed. In this private moment, I was obviously in high spirits. Robbee wrote
in her email: "You can never know how much that glimpse of you made my day, reminding me of
what life is all about."
Lesson
No matter what life throws at you you should never give up.

Randy didnt want to be an astronaut, he wanted the floating. When he got older, he
found a way to experience zero-gravity, without having to first become an astronaut.
Lesson:
Have specific dreams
Never underestimate the importance of fun. Choose to have fun. Have
fun while learning something hard. Randy says, I dont know how to
not have fun. Im dying and Im having fun. And, Im going to keep
having fun, everyday I have left, because theres no other way to play it.
Lesson: Have fun
