Randy Pausch Last Lecture

In watching Randy Pausch's last lecture Achieving your Childhood Dreams, there were several key points that were hit. These key points to me were more so guidance billets. teh key focus was acheiving your dreams at the same time helpig someone acheive their, identify your goals and reach for them, work on working with others and don't limit or allow others to limit you. In going through and thinking about what Pausch spoke on, he is basically giving pointers on how to live your life to the fullest.

Before one can a cheive their childhood dreams one must identify them. Your dream is your dream you shouldnt have to worry about how silly it may seem to others. And along the route of achieving your dreams and helping some one acheive theirs along the way it is ok if you realize that dream needs to be tweeked a little. One dream that Pausch tlaked about is wanting to be Captain Kirk but realizing somewhere on his journey that it would be best if he could meet Captain Kirk instead.

Learning to work with others is a big thing that really caught my attention in this lecture. Working with others can help you remove those limits that were and are placed on you, be it that they maybe self inflicted or inflicted by others. Where you teammate may fall short you can encourage them to reach their potential and vice verse.

In short, live life to the fullest. Set those goals wheter it be childhood dreams or the adulterted version once you realize those childhood dreams might need to be altered. Reach for those goals and help someone reach for theirs. Limit your self and not others. Don't get worked up over the cards you have been dealt, instead focus on how you play those cards.
