one could have known, on listening to a commencement address, that the

speaker was battling demons no one should have to fight, yet he was

doing it and the battle was helping him to form ground-breaking

insights, answering many questions that have troubled people for many

years.Usually, one finds that the deeper the

questioning, the more assuring are the answers one finds, though one can

never be 100 percent certain.When Dr. Christensen's work will likely point them in the right

direction. They

are traps that lead to unhappiness and if one finds oneself in them,

there is only one sure cure, changing your life so that they are no

longer part of your life. Christensen's case, his battle

with cancer, which most of his students and many, if not all of the

parents attending the graduation, probably didn't know of the internal

battle and daily worries that he faced. Christensen found, as

his battle against cancer deepened, was that the question: "How Do You

were very close friends or family - could have known that he was waging

a battle that he ultimately won against personal demons. Christensen's work will help to ensure

everyone from a freshman to long-term professionals to the freshman's

parents - who are dealing with their own life issues - that the choices

they have made are the right ones and, if they are still dealing with

issues, Dr. Christensen on a path of discovery.

Christensen, who did beat his demon, may find that his work could be

seminal as more and more people look at their lives and try to determine

whether the course they have chosen or may be choosing is the right

one? At the very least, Dr. Indeed, it is funny

how a one's battles with demons like cancer or other serious life

issues leads one to question even the fundamental assumptions they have

made during their lives.
