8th
I heard Randy Pausch’s last lecture a couple of months ago and it blew me away. I posted on this earlier but wanted to pass along these gems. I realized that dying man has a kind of wisdom that the majority of us don’t have until it is too late.
My lasting thought, “If I can see life from Randy’s eyes, how would I live?”
FROM RANDY PAUSCH’S ‘LAST LECTURE’
-Never underestimate the importance of having fun. I’m dying and I’m having fun. And I’m going to keep having fun every day because there’s no other way to play it.
-Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
-No one is pure evil. Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you.
-Brick walls are there for a reason. They are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop people who don’t want it badly enough.
-It is not about achieving your dreams but living your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
-We can’t change the cards we’re dealt, just how we play the hand. If I’m not as depressed as you think I should be, I’m sorry to disappoint you.
