Blog Assignment #7

"Randy Pausch The Last Lecture"



This video is very inspiring. He lets us know that he is dying and there is no need for us to cry for him because he is not sad, he really enjoying himself. He doesn't tell us about his condition but rather he tells us about how to achieve our dreams and the dreams of others.
He was once an author in the World Book of Encyclopedia, a Disney Imagineer and he has been a zero gravity. He was a teacher that put his students in groups and gave them the freedom of coming up with projects using virtual reality. Mr. Pausch was a motivational speaker. He has given inspirational speeches to graduates at the Carnegie Mellon University and lectures to thousands.
The most powerful thing Mr. Pausch has said that sticks in my mind is "It's not about how to achieve your dreams but how to lead your life."

  1. Taylor,
    I also thought this video was inspiring! He is such a wonderful person with an incredible story to preach. I think, as teachers, we need to understand what Randy is saying. We need to encourage and guide our students to a full and enjoyable life. They need to understand that life is not forever, but they can accomplish everything they want and dream. What a great message! Good job on your post!

  2. How he taught is as important as how he led his life!
