This was such an inspiring speech. He made me really go back and think about all my childhood dreams. He has accomplished so much throughout his life and really inspires you to want to accomplish all your goals. He also gives great advice on how to accomplish them. Some of the things that stuck out for me was when he talked about his football dreams and the experiences he gained from not accomplishing the dream and how much he learned.
The things his students were able to achieve through his class was amazing. He really gave them the freedom to be creative. He made class fun for his students. Also his class was project based and the masters program he helped create was also project based. These are great techniques because I think that students respond well to a class that is not traditional and gives them the space to really explore what they are capable.
I really liked his positive outlook on everything. The brick walls were something that everyone can relate to, we have all met them in some point in our lives. I think that failures make you stronger and agree that brick walls are put there to make the people who really want it to work hard and stop those that do not.
I also liked the point he made about helping others and focusing on other beside yourself. I think that we have to remember others and those that have helped us along the way. He gave a great example for us to follow. He was a great speaker and made a wonderful last speech.
It was a good speech. I really liked the part about the brick walls. I personally liked the part about if your doing something wrong, and nobody says anything, it is time to get worried. Use and learn from the feedback you get. Nice post.

ReplyDeleteYou make a great point about how inspirational Randy Pausch was about attaining our goals. His advice on how to accomplish them was even more moving since he had such an emotional perpective on it. He was an incredible person and he motivates all that watch his video.
