Randy Pausch - Really achieving your childhood dreams

This ENTRY has been EDITED.

Here's something I wanna share with you on Life Lessons.

"The Last lecture" by Randy Pausch is truly amazing and inspirational. The speech was part of a series that the computer science professor Randy Pausch and other professors at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh were asked to think about what matters to them most and give a hypothetical talk.

Prof Randy Pausch age 47, with pancreatic cancer had died at his home in Chesapeake, Virginia on 25th July 2008. His last lecture titled "Really achieving your childhood dreams" became an internet hit with 6 million viewers. He had also published a book and it made it to the top of the non-fiction best seller lists.

Here's one of my favorite quotes from Randy :

Remember, the brick walls are there for a reason . The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people.
