Say It With Roses! Part II

In keeping with part I, here are three more roses for you:




Yellow roses signify friendship or joy. They are also a good way to send a get well message!


The pink rose carries a meaning of love, gratitude or appreciation.  This is a very nice 
way to say "Thank you."



Finally, we come to the orange rose...the symbol of desire, passion or enthusiasm.
This a good choice for a graduate, post-recital gift, or just a way to say "Good job!"

The Last Lecture

It's commencement season! Congratulations to the Class of 2014.



So what is today's talk about then? It's about my childhood dreams and how I've achieved them — I've been very fortunate that way; how I believe I've been able to enable the dreams of others, and to some degree, lessons learned: I'm a professor — there should be some lessons learned — and how you can use the stuff you hear today to enable your dreams or enable the dreams of others. And as you get older you may find that enabling-the-dreams-of-others thing is even more fun.    ~~Randy Pausch              


Now that it is graduation season, I thought it would be good to look back at one of the most memorable commencement speeches ever given--Randy Pausch's Last Lecture.  Dr. Pausch gave this talk shortly before he died of liver cancer in July 2008.  I find his words inspirational, and I hope you will too~
