  • I watched the whole lecture... What an amazing man. God bless his family, he's looking down upon them.

  • Wow.

  • @iamMarcusPolk

    No, no, i don't think you get it.

    wiki/Head_fake

  • @rorrt I dont think you get it..Headfake obviously means the head of penis faking entry into the vaginal wall. Well, that's literal. He's using it in the figurative term. So he's basically pretending to fuck your mind, but he's not..so you end up learning something, cause you didn't get mind fucked, but you THOUGHT you were gonna get mind fucked...get it now?

  • @iamMarcusPolk

    Do you understand what he means by "Headfake"?

    Its when you are learning one thing, whilst at the same time learning something else...

    How is that trolling?

    Its like the analogy he uses about wanting to join the NFL, when parents send their kids to football training, they don't really want them to be pro-football players. They want them to learn teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline etc.

  • @iamMarcusPolk I don'r know, what do you think? LOL

  • Outstanding. Thanks for posting this vid. Truly inspiring. Had a chance to work in Disney, too. It is, as he describes it, a life-changing environment --like nowhere else.

  • Headfaking is called trolling nowadays, right?

  • Rest in peace, Jeffrey Zaslow, 1958-2012, killed in crash crash freak accident in northern Michigan icy roads, on way home from book signing event, he wrote the LAST LECTURE book, RIP, a good man gone too soon. Just 53~

  • "Coach Graham rode you pretty hard, didn't he?"

    ... I know it's inappropriate but someone had to say it. Otherwise... so wonderful.
