I just wanted to add my piece. I barely knew jeremy, but i did meet him a few times back in the day. Its really unfortunate, i hope the family and all close friends will be able to pull through this ok. I find that the loss of someone close is one of the hardest things to deal with.
I really agree with his philosophy on doing something that makes a difference. I just spent the last 2 years of my life in business school, and i came to realize that its all about making a positive impact in people's life. I really hope that by when december comes, when i graduate, that i will get a chance to be in the business of making a difference.
i also believe in living every minute fully. You really never know whats going to happen tomorrow. I also believe in positive risk taking, the kind of risks where you really have to make an effort to step out of yourself but the worst that could happen is that you end up exactly where you started.
