Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture.


Randy Pausch's last lecture was interesting, and a messy array consisting of words of wisdom - armed with a successful name behind his advice. He talked about the importance of being happy, and having fun while learning. He compared this to asking the crowd whether they were a "tigger or an Eeyore". He mentioned that arrogance was a limiting factor - a thing that he learned from experience earlier on in his life.

He told the class listening that you need to listen to what your mentors and teachers say, and you also need to pay attention to what your friends, and fellow students say to you and about you. One thing that I thought was awesome was how he said that every brick wall is a chance to prove your determination. He said that we needed to raise the bar higher for ourselves and keep trying.
