Though I'm probably one of the last people to watch this YouTube video, I'm glad that I took the time to view it. The video is a talk given by Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (on Sept. 18, 2007)--who was dying of pancreatic cancer--titled, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." In his talk, Pausch spoke about the lessons he's learned and offered advice on how others can achieve their own career and personal goals.
Pausch says, "Almost all of us have childhood dreams; for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don’t achieve theirs, and I think that’s a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I’ve actually achieved most of them."
More importantly, Pausch says, "I have found ways...of helping many young people actually achieve their [own] childhood dreams"--a gift that he feels is very important.
This video will lift you up and get you thinking about what an adventure life is.
