THE LAST LECTURE - Randy Pausch

What would you talk about during your Last Lecture? Randy Pausch's last lecture is inspirational and puts life in perspective. His speech includes several great quotes and exerpts that we can all learn from.

Quotes from Lecture:
"If you don't acheive your dreams you can still learn alot from trying"

"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"

When your doing a bad job and nobody points it out to you that's when they have given up on you" Pausch said this in reference to his middle school football coach who used to ride him every practice for 2 hours

"The Brick walls in our way are there for a reason, they let us prove how badly we want things"

To Achieve Dreams:
1) Work and play well with others: This means tell the truth, apologize and be patient with people/they will eventually show you their good side.

2) Show Gratitude
3)Don't Whine or Complain/Spend time working harder. Jackie Robinson had it in his contract that he could not complain if people spit on him

"Lead your life the right way and the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you"

This is a must see video. This is the 10 minute version of the Last Lecture he gave at Carnegie Mellon. The full length hour video can also be seen on you tube. I recommend that everyone watch it at some point!
