It's not very often that I ask favors of people. But I'm going to make an exception this time. Fellow Pond Bossers, whether you post a lot, post a little, or just lurk I want you all to do something for me. I want you to spend eleven and a half minutes watching a video. This is not a political video, nor religious. It is not controversial. Global warming isn't mentioned. A friend just forwarded this video to my wife. We watched it together. I felt I should pass it along. So JHAP is asking for a favor. Give me just over eleven minutes of your time and watch this video. I would expect you to be suspicious of anything I post or link to (that would only be common sense) but this time, and for this moment I'm serious. Please just click the link and watch this video. Get past the introduction by Oprah and watch. http://www.tvweek.com/viral-video/2/

In Dog Beers, I've had one.

Excellent, I recommend everyone watch it. It's hard enough for this guy to put on such a lecture, but truly the legacy he is leaving behind. Remarkable person. Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out what to say. Not often that I'm speechless.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

No need to thank me glad you all enjoyed it. I've book marked it and I'm gonna watch it every now and again.
As to you other 130+ people that have viewed this thread and not commented I can only assume one of two things happened:
1. You were so overwhelmed at the impact of this video that you haven't been able to write anything.
or...
2. You were highly suspicious of any video link that I would post so you refuse to click on it. Which given my history of postings is quite reasonable.

This gentlemen is from Carnegie Mellon which is about 13 miles from where I live, so I've known of his story for some time. My brother is an alumni of Carnegie Mellon, and I've done some course work there in high school and after college.
I will also watch the video from time to time. It is a great perspective and it is very humbling.
