Robin Williams died this week. He had a unique wit that allowed him to perform amazing feats of improv. But as we now know he had his demons. Still, his work will live on forever. As an actor he showed incredible range. One of his best was Dead Poet's Society. In the clip that follows, Robin Williams plays a new teacher with his class. His lesson is to see the people of the past as just like us - with ambitions, dreams, and hormones. We should appreciate those that came before us and learn from their successes and failures. Use this short time on Earth to do as much good as possible. Mork, the Genie, Popeye, and on an on made people happy.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying: And this same flower that smiles to-day To-morrow will be dying.
