As common as it may sounds like, it will merely be words if one cannot connect to that statement at a personal level. It might be easy for one to say, hey! I�ve live my life to the fullest! , but is it true? Are you really living your life to the fullest? Whether it�s a minor or major issue that you�re dealing with, with a little more extra effort by giving your very best and max out on your capabilities in dealing with such issues it will make a tremendous difference. Most of us often take things for granted, especially when it comes to our very own life. This particular article I�ve read it�s a very good example on what we failed to notice or realized what we�ve been blessed with.

I came across an article on Terry Pratchett over Mail Online and it made me wonder how would it be to be diagnosed with a very rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's disease - posterior cortical atrophy, (PCA) in which areas at the back of the brain begin to shrink and shrivel. Can you imagine that this PCA will gradually rob you of your memory, visual acuity and other things you didn�t know you had until you miss them? It�s a really sad thing to know for instance, your eyes knew that the newspaper is there on the table, but your brain is not passing along the information, this disease slips you away a little bit at a time and lets you watch it happen.

What will one do when you�re faced with such cruelty? Will one be as strong as Terry in living his life? Fighting for an answer or possible explanation on his condition and giving away $1million for research into the disease?

terry pratchet the writer got alzheimer?! shocking! anyway ... i don't think scientists could find the cure for this disease any sooner.
