Last Lecture: Achieving your childhood dreams
The very first time i came upon Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, he has not pass on from this world yet. This afternoon, i listened to his lecture for the 3rd time. The 2nd time was about a year ago. One of his closing words just came into my head on random while i was working. Well, probably not so random as i was thinking about things that happened to path me toward Randy's closing lines again.
" It's not about how to achieve your dreams.
It's about how you lead your life.
If you lead your life the right way,
the karma will take care of itself,
The dreams will come to you."
love it. such simple-pure-honest-faith.
i thought i wouldnt listen to the lecture again coz its more than an hour long each time. This time round, i saved it under my favourites in Youtube. Thought I'll probably watch it the 4th time someday...next year? 2008..2009....2010....therefore, 2011? His word just happened to come back once a year. :)
All lives are meant to make a differences in someone else's life. Some lives just happen to make a differences in a much larger way.
Randy Pausch kinda reminds me of an ex boss i used to work with. There's this similar kind of atmosphere about him and i still remember some handful of things that he used to say in some random conversations that we had during work. i always quietly love ending up having an accidental conversation with him coz he loves talking about the topics that i love listening to the most. i just never said so. There's just something really wise and sincere about people with that certain kind of atmosphere. To me, thats some type of superpower.
Another quote from Randy Pausch that i love:
"The brick walls are not there to keep us out.
The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something,
because the brick walls are there to stop the people who dont want it badly enough.
They're there to stop the other people."
Oh boy, how i adore quotes.. ;)
