I finished reading my 21st book in English without using a dictionary a couple of weeks ago. The book is "The Last Lecture" and written by a professor, Randolph Frederick Pausch. He died because of a cancer when we was 46 years old. Before dieing, he wrote a book to leave some messages what he wanted to his children, and the book is this one.
In the book he talked about how he made his dreams come true and helped someone's dreams make come true.

He said it's the most important for us to live honesty and follow our feelings. If we live in a curtain way, gears of our lives start matching and we can make our dreams come true. The curtain way of a life what he means is not give up our dreams.

I think it sounds very simple, but it's the most difficult for us. As going back to my passed life, I have given up a lot of dreams. I wanted to become a professional painter, but I couldn't be it. I also wanted to travel around all over the world, but I couldn't do it. I wanted to become an English fluent speaker, but I couldn't do it either. I think I was a luck of obsession that I really want to be or make it come true. That's why I couldn't make them come true.

I know it's not too late to make my dreams come true and I'd love to make it! The book gave me big challenging spirits!

"Be prepared. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity."
"The brick walls are there to give us
　　　a chance to show how badly we want something."

ある日突然、末期がんで余命宣告を受けた著者。
大学教授である彼は、家族やその他の人々に伝えたいことを
最も自分らしい、“講義”という形で遺そうと考える。

✂ฺ------------------------------------------------ฺ+

最初はただ自分の経歴を自慢してるのかと思ったけど、
全然違った！それらを実現するためにはすごい苦労が
あって、その苦労から学んだ教訓がいっぱいでした！


とにかく泣ける！ほんとに泣ける！そして読みやすい！


余命宣告された人が書いたものとはとても思えないほど
ポジティブな内容だ。むしろ明るい気持ちになれます◎

あちこちにjokeがいっぱいだから、原書で読んだほうが
おもしろいと思います。単語簡単だし、言葉も素敵！！

あと、ほんといたるところに名言があります。
経験が伴っているので、言葉に重みがある。

来年から社会人になるけど、バイブルになると思う！
