 Every Parent Should Read This Book October 30, 2008
Lorie H. Nicholes, novelist, (On the move, USA)
Somebody sent me the You-Tube "Last Lecture" which moved me deeply. Then I found the book at my son's house and read it. WOW! A hundred times better! Where was this book when I was raising my kids? Where was this book when my parents were raising me? How different my life would have been if I had been given, or had given my own children, the insights to live and love life, make dreams, and believe in self of which Randy writes of so cheerfully in this book. The thesis: Have a dream, Reach a dream!
I was always told to be cautious, do what Daddy said, not take chances -- one might be crushed or rejected. Those lessons were a rejection in themselves. When I did mention a dream, I was lovingly told not to hope for fantasies, but to chose something more realistic.
Though I didn't say the same in words to my kids, the thought was there, pervading the air of our home. In retrospect, I know I had, and my children had, the brains and talents to be anything, but not the parental encouragement, let alone the joyous abandon to say "GO FOR IT! WHY NOT?"
Randy, you've given the world a great gift. I regret that most of the world doesn't and won't recognize it.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RXRLQGOYROUXD This book made a real impact on me and I have given it to many people as a gift. Remember your childhood dreams and go after them with all you've got. Inspirational!
I did this review a while back but never loaded it onto Amazon. Randy has died since I made the video but he has left his amazing message with us all.
