Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
I’ve been pretty busy the last few weeks. Had some travel and lots to do.
One of my flights was on SouthWest, and in their Spirit Magazine they had an article about Randy Pausch. Randy, 47, is a Carnegie Mellon professor that was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer last fall. He responded to this diagnosis with an inspirational “last lecture” to students and faculty. The video has become one of YouTube’s most viewed clips. It’s just over an hour long. Watch it. Even as busy as I have been, it was well worth my time. Let’s all use Randy as inspiration and find ways to achieve our childhood dreams and enable those of others.
PS – When you’re done with the video, read the Wikipedia article on Randy. He got to do one of his unachieved childhood dreams he talks about late last year, which I thought was pretty cool. You can see more about his lecture by visiting the Randy Pausch page at the Carnegie Mellon site. And you can preorder a book that talks about Randy’s ideas called The Last Lecture.
