Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Quite a few months back I did an article on Dr Randy Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture’, well today somebody sent me this version….much shorter…from the Oprah Winfrey Show. What an amazing man….dying with pancreatic cancer and giving this moving, motivating and inspirational speech.

His talk is about childhood dreams and how he just went for what he wanted…getting rejected along the way…but even keeping his rejection letters…finding them inspirational. “Experience is what you get…when you don’t get what you want”. Also making the point that you must always have fun.

Sadly, Dr. Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor lost his battle with cancer on the 25th July, 2008, leaving behind a wife and three young children. He was only 47 years old.

Watch…pass it along to your friends….I’m sure they too will find it motivating and inspirational. You can find the full lecture on ‘You Tube’, it has been viewed by millions…. is well worth watching.

I’m listening….so please leave me feedback..
