Dr. Pausch : The Last Lecture: Acheiving Your Childhood Dreams
This video equals amazing! All i can say is, WOW!! I feel like everyonw needs to watch this video. Dr. Paush is a professor and an amazing person, I fell like we all need to be more like this and become more like him. This is called, "The Last Lecture" because he was told that he did not have much longer to live but he is in great health now and that did not stop him from his positive outlook on life. He has lived his life to the fullest and he is such a positive person.

His talk is about his childhood dreams, enabling the dreams of others and lessons learned: how you can acheive your dreams or enable the dreams of others. His childhood dreams were; being in zero gravity, playing for the NFL, authoring an article in The World Book Encyclopedia, being Captain Kirk, winning stuffed animals and being a disney imagineer. He talks about these dreams to the fullest and their significance of each whether he acheived them or not, he accomplished some and did not accomplish others. At the end of this video he points out some very good points in life; he mentions, never give up, do not lose your child-like wonder, loyalty is a two-way street, help others, don't complain, show gratitude, and when you get feedback from others listen to it! What great points. He truly shows us how to become a better pesron.

My absolute favorite quote in this video is," Expierence is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted", this is so true. He is a person with so much passion for others. This video is so encouraging and he is such a man of loyalty and leadership. This is very uplifting. He came up with The Alice project which is to help teach and learn program concepts. He has acheived so much and touched so many peoples lives. He has such a positive outlook on life and has obvioulsy been an inspiration to myself and others.

I want to end this post by concluding with WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! What a blessing this man has been to others and was an inspring and amazing guy!!!
