Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams 



                                                                    


I really loved this video, I found it to be very sad but also inspiring at the same time. I really enjoyed listening to Randy Dr.Pausch life dreams, he made many excellent points. Randy Dr.Pausch is someone that I would truly like to base my life on. He had such a great outlook on life, if you where to see him you never would think that this man has cancer and has only a few short months of life left. My favorite quote that was made in the video was "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted." Throughout the video, he made many quotes that I found remarkably inspiring. Another that really stuck with me was " If you are being corrected and criticized, it is a good thing. It means you are doing something right." At first I did not quit get what Dr.Pausch meant by this, but after having a full understanding of the quot I do not think it could have been said better. Criticism of any type constructive or negative can be looked at as a great thing. If you are being criticized then your critics still believe you have potential, enough potential for them to devote there time in to you.


Dr. Pausch mentioned that we learn from students, everyday teachers are constantly learning something new from their students. Teachers will never stop learning. Dr. Pausch also tells us that we should always have fun.Dr. Dr.Pausch shared with us that through all of the ups in downs that he had gone through in his life he could still look back and laugh. This is important in life you will never make it far if you can not learn to enjoy life. Not many people are as strong as Dr.Pausch, it is an incredible thing to know you are dying and still be able to live your life to the fullest and still have fun. This is truly and inspiring thing.Dr. Pausch also shares with us that we should never lose the child-like wonder. By this he means we should never loose the child in side us. Life will never be what you want it to to be if you can not keep you child-like wonder. Finally Dr. Pausch tells us that we should help others. Helping someone can mean so much more than an individual may think. Helping someone can be as little as holding a door for someone. Dr. Pausch himself has helped me today he has truly inspired me, and reminded that each day is not guaranteed.
