Learn to live, live to learn

David St. Lawrence at Ripples sent me this link to an incredible video a few days ago.

Tears streamed down my face as I watched it — based on a true story of aging Taiwanese men learning to accept their fate and make the most of the time they have left through a motorcycle ride from one end of Taiwan to the other.

It’s actually an ad for TC Bank of Taiwan but it is much more than that — a lesson about life, a reminder that we must learn to live and that by doing do we live to learn.
