Achieving your childhood dreams

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Points to take away:

  • "Brick Walls" are there to stop the people who don't want something enough - other people
  • helping other people achieve their dreams can be just as rewarding as achieving your own

There are a lot of related videos on Youtube - interviews, follow ups and other recorded lectures presented by Randy, and I'll be working through those over the next little while.
