Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

I believe EVERYONE should watch, listen or read Dr. Pausch’s Last Lecture.  He didn’t jump off objects, fly through the sky, race vehicles at high speeds, perform in front of millions, but he did create a piece of art, his life, his words as a gift for his children.  He didn’t live life for only himself, but to teach based on his life experiences.  If you discover something about yourself by the time you complete listening or reading his words, then even in death he continues to teach.  A remarkable person by any standards.

Thanks for reading and for your support!

 

***You do not need to participate in para activities to understand that laws that allow similar activities and disallow others is discriminatory against a fraction of US citizens.  These are not the principals in which this nation was founded, nor is it a direction down this path in which freedom loving citizens wish to travel***
