In March, I wrote about Zach Sobiech's inspirational fight with cancer. To see more on this story, click http://characterandleadership.blogspot.com/2013/03/boy-dying-of-cancer-inspires-others.html
On Monday, March 20, some 17 days after his eighteenth birthday, Zach died.
I have said all that I can say about this amazing person, so I will not repeat myself here. I will simply leave you with the following video, which is a documentary about his final days. If you don't cry while watching this video, I am truly worried about you. If this does not inspire you to be a better person, I am truly worried about you.

My wish for you: As you complete another school year and begin another summer break, please use this story to keep your life and your problems in their proper perspective. I hope we all can keep Zach's life philosophy in mind, "What makes you happy is seeing someone smile because you put it there. That's what's awesome about living in this world." Imagine what the world would be like if we all embraced this message.
