Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

The length of this lecture truly scared me to begin with; I thought I would never watch the whole thing. I thought I would skim through it enough to do my assignment and be done with it, but once I started it I realized it was actually going to be pretty motivating. He starts off talking about how sick he is, he has quite a few tumors and from what I understand they have spread throughout his body. He actually turns his sickness into a pretty funny joke and says sorry to disappoint but he is actually is great health, probably healthier than you! He then tells everyone with home remedies and supplements to stay away that this lecture is not about cancer or his family this lecture is about enabling the dreams of others and your own dreams.
He starts out talking about his crazy childhood dreams and how many he has had come true. There is actually one part in the lecture where he is showing a video of zero gravity where students get to see what it feels like to be up in space. They are all floating and suddenly they shut it off and everyone plummets to the floor. He also adds great quote when he is talking about one of his childhood dreams of being in the NFL. When you are screwing up and no one is saying anything to you or correcting you that mean that they have given up on you which is so true. If people are criticizing you they still care and love you.
Randy Pausch is a professor who has a class where they use virtual reality or virtual worlds to do projects and in the classrooms. The first project that they did using virtual reality there were only two rules no porn and no guns and killing. The boys were out of ideas! When everyone turned in their projects he was blown away because the work was outstanding. The students had five projects and they kept raising the bar with each project. There were 50 students in the class and the day they were presenting their projects there were 95 people in the classroom wanting to see the projects. Kids can have fun while learning something hard. Everyone should be helping others.
