Great comments for this video truley great. I'm so glad to see 2 people who appreciate a speech like this rather then hate and stupidity.
I too as i have done for some time will be writing down my thoughts and legacy to pass down to my family. It is so very important.
God bless TED for bringing together such brilliant minds to revitilize the art of public speaking with a mixture of ingenuitive ideas and old world splendur.
And i appologies for all my spelling erors.

Great. I have not seen a more moving yet truthful message. Today I will start handwriting my notebook for my children and my wife. ( I will include a scanned copy in USB for modernity's sake.)

I agree! I write letters, and I feel sad when I don't get any in reply.
