Iran and Israel: A Love Story?

In March of 2012, Ronny Edry, and Israeli graphic designer, posted an image on FaceBook that, to his surprise, went viral.  In fact, he accidentally created an online movement for peace in the Middle East.  You can click on the image below, but it may be better to go to this link:  Ronny Edry Ted.com.

   

Edry and thousands of like-minded individuals have built bridge in the Middle East between the people of Iran and Israel. They do not consider themselves to be enemies. They love each other.  While the leaders of their countries strut around on their self-important stages prophesizing war, large segments of the citizenry proclaim graphic messages of peace.

Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot

Carl Sagan, astronomer and philosopher, died in 1996.  Quite by chance, we stumbled on a You Tube video of his: Pale Blue Dot  This is extraordinary -- only around three minutes.  Well worth viewing.

 

"We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot.  That's here. That's home. That's us.  On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives.  The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings..." Read more

The Last Lecture

"What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? For Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch, the question isn't rhetorical -- he's dying of cancer." (from WSJ article)

Ben Barankin sent us the link to an inspiring article about a Carnegie Mellon Proffesors:  "Last Lecture."

The article will be available on the Wall Street Journal's web site for another five days (but those with access to a college or university library may be able to access it longer).

This is a "must read, must see" for all of us -- so please take the time.

Dr. Pausch', a Carnegie Mellon University computer-science professor, had been invited to give his "last Lecture; but the speech was more than just an academic exercise. The 46-year-old father of three has pancreatic cancer and expects to live for just a few months. His lecture, using images on a giant screen, turned out to be a rollicking and riveting journey through the lessons of his life.

In this Electonic Age the WSJ is not the only show in town.  Professor Pausch's oration can be viewed on YouTube  It is well worth the time.

The concept of one's last lecture is a valid one.  We can think of what this would mean for us to deliver and whose "Last Lecture" we'd particularly like  to hear.
