Randy Pausch and “The Last Lecture”

Filed Under (Inspirational) by admin on 26-07-2008

Today as I finished with one of the finest products I have done so far specifically for my family, friends and Puerto Rican friends (of course you guys are also invited) I read the local news and a special, full of purpose, loving guy went in peace with his last lecture. Other than my two greatest friends, my parents, a person called “Randy Pausch” inspired millions of people across the world, specifically in his native country up there in the US and surely tough me even more and inspired many of us to pursue meaningful things as far significance results means to your loved ones and others define.

Randy Pausch historic legacy is surely already living in peace since yesterday when he passed away, His fight for living every single day full of gratitude and in time to let all of us look inside of us in more deeper insightful ways as how are we managing our life can be defined by you, also as priceless.

Please take yourself 1 hour to watch the historic speech he did for his college students and university or take a look at the “Oprah” shortest version it’s post immediately below the Carnegie Mellon University lecture. His insights surely have great value on all of us. Take a nice soda or perhaps “Tropica 12 onz” of fresh orange juice and do watch one of the two lectures by Mr. Pausch, you won’t regret it.

What a guy, huh?

Among the many quotes I have gathered from Randy’s lectures. His way of conveying many of his quotes bring so much much truth and meaning, that I had to add him to this blog and show them to you. Here are some of the lectures that many of us (including myself) have always believed truly that came from Randy Pausch:

“Brickwalls are there for a reason: they let us prove how bad we want things” Video quote by Randy

Me: My obvious and logical view of this quote is; if it was easy to become the head CEO of a company or a successful work at home entrepreneur, in my opinion, more than 95% of Puerto Rican people will resign their McDonald’s job and more than 70% of people across the globe will happily find meaning to a new route for financial security or freedom.

“Decide if you are a Tiger or Eeyore” Video quote by Randy

Me: In my experienced viewpoint, hearing this made me laugh so much as I always found it very truthful. While being an “Eeyore” will be loving for your daughter and kids, in the real you either have to be a tiger or a lion! My logo means, many of us are kind of slow in reaction but an element in persistence always find truth for success. While a lion should always win a battle, a tiger is often faster than any rival in business. Sharpening your strengths is one of the principles I have taken greatly into consideration in the last years. Being an “Eeyore” is always ok too, however, instead of being nice you might find that being “good” has more meaning than being nice. I’m sure you’ll understand the connotations in such words now or soon enough.

“Earnest Is Better Than Hip” Randy Pausch “The Last Lecture” book

To be exact, on page 133 of Randy Pausch books, he documents his finding across a simple and yet another truthful, healthy habit. In a nutshell and in my opinion to, forming a habit for long term always beats short term.

Get his book from Amazon.com directly from this link http://www.amazon.com/Last-Lecture-Randy-Pausch/dp/1401323251/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217085778&sr=8-1

His lectures, his life meaning with his family and definitely his story is one you definitely should consider reading for an amplified state of improved and better living. Around 20 minutes writing and editing this long but yet sincere blog post, I am sure you may also find it worth it.
