I found Randy Pausch's Last Lecture so inspiring. I really like his view on life. He handles his diagnosis so well, and he assures everyone that his not in denial. Not many people that I know can handle something so severe like he did. And, yet he still was trying to encourage others. He really is an amazing and courageous person for doing what his doing and only had few more months to live.
While listening to him talk about his childhood dreams it really was touching and I'm so glad he go to accomplish some of his dreams before he past away. Him wanting to win stuff toys, and meeting his idol were some of his childhood dreams and was a great accomplishment. He didn't give up and its so inspiring. Like he said brick walls show us how much we really want things. His a very driven and hardworking individual and people who actually knew him were very lucky.
I love how Dr. Pausch made it his mission to enable childhood dreams. His teaching was creative and he made is own curriculum. He was such a great teacher, and it's ashamed that we don't have more like him. He let his students come up with their own assignments. To me he mentioned some things that another speaker we listened to had said, that they are killing creativity in school, and Dr. Pausch was putting that back into the schools.
This video of Dr. Pausch's last lecture is well worth the time to sit and watch. It just shows you how amazing this man really is and how he accomplished great and challenging things. It makes you take a look at your life and dreams that you may have and tell yourself that no matter how far fetch your dreams may seem it is possible to accomplish them, you just got to get through that brick wall.
