Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

Randy Pausch had a lot of interesting ideas in his lecture. He was diagnosed with cancer and did not have very long to live. He said to him self, if he could do his last lecture before he died, what would he talk about. Mr. Pausch basically talked about his childhood dreams. Dream, dream, Dream, it's ok. Randy had a list of childhood dreams that he accomplished in different ways.

Randy went on to saying, "it's not about the cards you're dealt, it's how you play them." I thought this was very interesting because this statement holds true for everyday life in general. Everyone's faced with obstacles in their lives and they have to find ways to overcome those challenges. He also mentioned that anything is possible. This is what we tell our kids when they are younger, but I think as an adult, we need to hear this in order to remember it.

I really liked that Randy stressed on having fun. He said that even though he's dying, he'll have fun till the end. He said to have fun while working hard to accomplish your goals. Don't ever let anyone bring you down. Never give up on your dreams. Even if you don't accomplish them, you will learn something from doing so.

Although the video was a bit lengthy, it definitely captured my attention. This video can be a life lesson for anyone. It really made me think about my life somewhat differently. Randy mentioned in the video to always listen to your critics feedback and use it. I liked this because we as humans tend to get mad when someone is telling us that we're doing something wrong, but in all actuality, they are helping us become good at that something. Randy said to find the best in everybody and this is something I will try to remember. Overall, I really enjoyed all the advices of Randy Pausch's lecture. This is definitely a life lesson in a short amount of time.
