Randy Pausch's Last Lecture.

In this lecture with Mr. Pausch we learn a lot of different things. The main point being, to never give up. He repeats this many times in his lecture in many different ways. In his life he has had many reasons to give up. In all of these trials he never thought about it and never is going to, as he currently fighting a life ending form of cancer.

When Mr. Pausch was younger he wanted to be national football league player. Because of some unfortunate circumstances he was unable to make this dream come true. In this specific instance of not succeeding, Mr. Pausch learned from the experience of trying to make it happen. Another helpful hint he mentions is to start out by making a goal and even if that goal is not achieved learn something from the experience.

  1. Hi Anna, I like that you pointed out some main things that Randy Pausch talks about in his last lecture. He encourages everyone from far and wide to never give up on the dreams they have for themselves, and gives examples. I wish though that you would've gone into more depth about the little things he points out. Anyone who hasn't seen the video or who don't have time to view the video would appreciate more details! Other than that, good job!
