Extremely inspiring. Made me refocus on what is important.

Wow.

Thank you for posting this. The part about the brick walls is extremely significant to me right now, I've been having a very very hard time with them. This message came at the right time.

That was one hell of an analogy for the brick walls. I know I won't forget that.

ALICE?!?!?!

Inspirational speech aside, that program is fucking HIDEOUS! We used that in class my freshman year and its so buggy and shitty and.. ugh.

Definitely a good speech, though.

 

[DruSam]

Love this guy's spirit. Glad I watched the video.

It reminded me that we all only get one shot. One life. It's all our personal mission to make it count for something.

wow, just watched the whole thing. Pretty impressive guy. I'm pretty young, and I actually remember downloading Alice from downloads.com 5+ years ago. For what the program is intended for, it works great. I think I still would be involved in computers as much as I am now, without ever discovering Alice. But for some I'm sure it opened the door to what is possible with computers.
