The young influential professor from Carnegie Mellon died early this morning from pancreatic cancer. He was only 47 years old, leaving behind his wife Jai and three small children. My heart and prayers go out to the Pausch family. Professor Pausch inspired millions of people with his remarkable and touching speech widely known as the “Last Lecture”. He lived his life fully until the end. I greatly admire his indestructible positivity, faith and zeal in life. I have praise for his bravery and undying spirit.
I want to become the kind of parent he was. I would like to embraced life as he did and faced it head on even if he was facing death. Life can be so complicated sometimes with various bullshit mingling and other adversities that come up. But he makes it sound so easy and doable. That is because of his never give up attitude and eternal optimism. He teaches us that the kid in us should never die — that we should continue to dream and set out to achieve those dream. He teaches us that anything is possible.
They say, the good die young. Yes, they do. Randy Pausch was an extraordinary.
some of the quotes that got me
Loyaly is a two way street…. Never give up…. Get a feedback loop and listen to it…. Show gratitude…. Don’t complain. Just work harder….
Remember brick walls let us show our dedication. They are there to separate us from the people who don’t really want to achieve their childhood dreams. Don’t bail. The best of the gold’s at the bottom of barrels of crap.
We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.
It’s very important to know when you’re in a pissing match. And it’s very important to get out of it as quickly as possible.“
