A Step A Day, Dr. Randy Pausch, In Memorium, inspiring stories

A few days ago, I had a post dedicated to Dr. Randy Pausch who sadly passed away on July 25. He was a person I came to admire- for his courage, optimism in spite of the heavy odds against him and his consideration for others overlooking his own pain.

There is so much on the internet about him- which is truly inspirational- that Tara Parker-Pope of the New York Times has put together a compilation of links to major sites about Dr. Randy Pausch called  “The Online Legacy of Professor Pausch”.  Thank you, Ms. Parker-Pope for this effort.

This is a useful compilation- strongly recommended for people who want to know what optimism can do for them in their lives- to browse at their own pace. One item at a time.

There are so many lessons there for all of us. Thanks to you, Dr. Pausch.

A Step A Day, Dr Narendra Jadhav, inspiring stories

Achieving one’s goals is no mean task. Achieving them against all odds makes the story more inspiring. In the India of the 1950s and 1960s being from a poor, Dalit family made living itself a challenge leave alone flourishing in a caste-prejudiced society. One such story I came across recently is the story of Dr. Narendra Jadhav. This article in the Times of India is sure to inspire many others.
