I'm glad to be here today. |
| [00:02.000] |
Last August I was told that in all likelihood I had three to six months left to live. |
| [00:10.000] |
I'm on month nine now. |
| [00:12.000] |
Somebody said to me, in light of those numbers... |
| [00:15.000] |
"Wow, so you are really beating the Grim Reaper." |
| [00:19.000] |
And what I said without even thinking about is that... |
| [00:22.000] |
We don't beat the Reaper by living longer... |
| [00:26.000] |
We beat the Reaper by living well. |
| [01:18.000] |
'Cause I assure you I've done a lot of really stupid things, |
| [01:22.000] |
And none of them bother me. |
| [01:25.000] |
All the mistakes, all the dopy things and all the times I was embarrassed... |
| [01:30.000] |
They don't matter. |
| [01:32.000] |
What matters is that, I can kind of look back and say: |
| [01:36.000] |
"Pretty much anytime I got a chance to do something cool, I tried to grab for it." |
| [01:42.000] |
And that's where my solace comes from. |
| [01:44.000] |
Thank you. |
