September 18, 2007, A professor at Carnegie Mellon named Randy Pausch gave a powerful lecture in front of 400 people in the university. His lecture was about "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," he talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals. He also wrote a famous book based on the same principles entitled "The Last Lecture", celebrating the dreams we all strive to make realities. He may have lost his battle to cancer, but his last lecture will always inspire people.
from the website of Carnegie Mellon University about Randy Pausch...
"Almost all of us have childhood dreams; for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don’t achieve theirs, and I think that’s a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I’ve actually achieved most of them. More importantly, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU’s Entertainment Technology Center of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams." - Randy Pausch, Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008
