Randy Pausch – Lecture of a Lifetime
What speech would you give if you knew you were dying? Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science Professor Randy Pausch delivered his speech recently after being given just months to live because of cancer.
His lecture of a lifetime is called “How to Live Your Childhood Dreams.”
The video is available on YouTube in segments. Here’s part of it.
If you haven’t yet achieved what you want in life or business, watch this speech in its entirety and evaluate where you’re at, where you’re headed, and why.
Hat tip to ABC News, which also has the whole lecture on its site.

Some lessons from Randy Pausch’s last lecture that especially moved me:
1. Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things.
2. Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
3. Never lose the child-like wonder.
4. If we do something which is pioneering, we will get arrows in the back. But at the end of the day, a whole lot of people will have a whole lot of fun.
5. Be good at something; it makes you valuable.
6. If you live your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, and the dreams will come to you.
