The Last Lecture
Upon hearing about the death of Randy Pausch, I decided to see what all the media attention was about on the "last lecture" he gave to his university. I must say, if you haven't seen it yet, go see it now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo
I can see why so many people were inspired by it. Here are a few quotes from the lecture:
"Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted."
"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."
"Until you got ice cream spilled on you, you’re not doing field work."
"Syl said, it took me a long time but I’ve finally figured it out. When it comes to men that are romantically interested in you, it’s really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do. It’s that simple. It’s that easy."
"It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."
