[00:00.000]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.
