Professor Diagnosed with Cancer, see his Last Lecture.

You have missed a lot if you haven't seen Professor Randy Pausch last lecture entitled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams".

Randy passed away on 25 Jul 08, he was diagnosed with liver cancer in mid 2007 and was told by his doctors that he had 3-6 months to live. He gave his moving "last lecture" on Sep 07 in Carnegie Mellon to students, colleagues, wife and most importantly his 3 kids. Watch every minute of it, it's worth it.

Looking at this reminds how far we are from having the right people in Universities in Jordan.

Jordan is still young, a country that is less than a hundred years, so when you talk about buildings that are 60 Years old. The first international football field , is no longer there, instead you will find the new buildings in this picture. Some of the most influential people in this country studied behind those thick walls. Including King Hussein, Ministers, Princes, Politicians, Opposition figures and many more. The school's management seems to have a different architectural opinion!! So they started renovating, demolishing, removing struc...

Can't stop thinking about your Grave...

Every smile leads to you, every poster, every corner... All the lonely drives I take to work and back home... I think of you... and all the pain just rushes back to strain my throat... as if you just left yesterday... Every prayer, when I sit... I just remember how you taught me what to say... I remember how you pushed for a better me... Snowy nights and morning prayers in a distant mosque come flashing back... Every school reminds me how you used to sneak out of line 10 minutes before the bill rings just to pick me up... so I won't wait forever in line... Every apartment that is for sale, every brother I see with another, every gym, every cigarette, every cup of coffee, every PC game... I cannot forget... Every book I see...I see your face... At every car that looks like yours... I almost crumble into tears... Every time I get sick, reminds me of all the long nights you spent with me in a cold distant hospital, every time I get sick I remember how you sacrificed "kids play...
