Thoughts provoked

Randolph Frederick Pausch, or Randy, succumbed to cancer on Friday, July 25, 2008: From the Wall Street Journal Randy Pausch, the computer science professor who rose to fame after giving a quirky last lecture about celebrating life in the face of his terminal cancer, died Friday, July 25, 2008. I learnt and re-learnt a LOT from his simple, yet fantastic lecture, which keeps popping to the front of all audio/video lists I maintain..... I listened to him first around mid Jan 2008 ..... My favorite quote from the last lecture by this CMU prof "It's not about how to achieve your dreams; it's about how to lead your life. if you lead your life the right way, the dreams will come to you." Randy Pausch, in 2007, holding his children Logan and Chloe, with Dylan on his shoulders. May your soul rest in peace....!

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals. My favorite quote from the last lecture by this CMU prof "It's not about how to achieve your dreams; it's about how to lead your life. if you lead your life the right way, the dreams will come to you." and The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!  - Randy Pausch So very nostalgic! Dream on! :) and how I relate to "Steve Jobs
