You Make The Call

John Anderson | July 27, 2008

So, I’m currently reading The Last Lecture, a book written by a terminally ill CS professor with an amazing amount of insight.

When I read of his passing last week, I purchased the book on my Kindle. And it is brilliant, but it has raised some questions in my mind.

First, what is better? To have experienced the joy of having a wife and children, then having to know that you would have to abandon them, or to have never experienced any of that at all?

Personally, well, personally, you don’t know what I think. But it is an interesting question.

Buy the book. It’ll make you smile, cry, and re-think your priorities.
