A female colleague once shared something she learned about relationships with Randy Pausch: "When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it's really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do." Do you agree or disagree?
The Last Lecture: Childhood Dreams
The act of dreaming big dreams and achieving those dreamt up as a child was important to Randy. And not just fulfilling your dreams, but also helping others realize theirs as well. How many dreams have you been able to achieve? Have you helped others fulfill theirs? And why are dreams so important to have?
The Last Lecture: Brick Walls
"The brick walls are there to stop people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people."
Randy Pausch didn't see walls as an obstacle, he saw it as a challenge. A way to prove how much he wanted what was on the other side. Do agree with him? What "walls" have you come across in your life? Were you able to break through them? If so, how?
The Book Club
So I finally borrowed The Last Lecture from the library today and have already started reading it. I invite those who've read it or would like to read it with me to share any thoughts on the book. As part of The Book Club I'll be posting thoughts and questions until I finish it. For those who aren't interested in reading, no worries. You can still share your thoughts on the selected topic and answer any questions I pose.The Book Club Update
Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about The Book Club or The Last Lecture. Instead of buying it at the store I decided to request it from the library. Once the book is held at my local branch for me to pick up (in the next week or so), I'll let you know. In the meantime, here's the video of Randy Pausch's lecture at Carnegie Mellon. Hopefully, this will incite some of you to pick up his book.
