Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
Wow what can i say this guy is awesome! This is the first time that i have heard of him, and because of this assignment i am one of his fans. This assignment was kind of the longest one we have had so far, and i really was not looking forward to doing it but when you started watching him you just got into his lecture and time just went by. You rarely see a person this day in time as happy and full of life as Randy Pausch. I do believe he is an inspiration not only to me but to everyone that has listened to him. He is about to lose his life, but he still so helpful to make sure everyone else around him can have an amazing life and live it to the fullest. It makes you really start thinking about your own life and weather of not to start making some changes.
He first starts out by explaining what his childhood dreams were and how he achieved them, which takes up about the first twenty minutes of the video. He talks about how he accomplished did each one. Randy did everything he could to do everything on his list. He never took no for an answer when it come to his dreams, and if necessary he took a few loop holes. I believe everyone's goal start out by just saying i want to live life to the fullest and that's kind of what Randy has done.
Then he goes on talking about how he helped others achieve their childhood dreams. He dedicated the remainder of his life to helping his students be the best they could possibly be. It's weird this guy is dying and everything he does is selfless, i mean it seems that it needs to be all about him, but that's not how he looks at it. On top of that he is entertaining, and he does not make it depressing even though u really can't help but to feel sorry for him. I don't believe i could be the way he is if i was in his shoes.
I believe one of his main quotes is, "You obviously don't know where the bar should be, and your only going to do them a disservice by putting it anywhere." This speaks to everyone no matter how old you are. No one can tell you when you have reached your limits. Like the old saying goes, " don't stop at the stars, shoot for the moon."
Comments for kids & teachers
I had to comment on David's blog and his topic was about slavery and he put together a couple of sentences that really explained what slavery was and how it made people feel. I also went to my comment for teacher blog and i have read another post and commented on it.
