Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
This video focuses on the effort of taking time to focus what is important. Often time it is easy for people to be distracted and loss sight of things that can be control, while focusing too much on what cannot be controlled. I found this video to not only be insightful, but also very inspiring.

This video was very powerful. This video makes you think about the things that we have no control over. I think this man is a true testimony of a person who learned to accept the things he could not control. Most people would be just lying around waiting to die. I like the fact that he is so positive. He is really a motivational speaker. If I had to deliver my last lecture, I don't think that I would know what to say.

Last Lecture
Randy Pausch's Last Lecture was great from some of what I heard in this video. I don't think I could personally do something like that so I tip my hat to everyone who gave a Last Lecture because I know it is very difficult to do. Much Respect to goes out to Randy Pausch

This guy has such a great outlook on life even though he knows his time is so short. He is not bitter and he is not sad, he wants to leave behind a legacy of creativity and dream chasing. You should do everything in life in a way that brings purpose to your actions, not just doing them to "do your job" or just to get it over with, everything you do should have meaning. You have one life to live, you don't know how short or long it will be so you need to make the most of it while you can.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
The video is really interesting. Mr. Pausch really inspired me. What I liked most is that he tells us to give time. He says wait long enough and give everyone a chance.He also made me realize how valuable one's life and shoould always try to live life to the fullest.

In this video i learned to ask myself what maters most to me. The goal is to achieve your childhood dreams. This presentation is put on as a mans last speech before he died and it was really empowering and moving. He taught me it takes a while to see the good in some one some times.

TITLE - Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
If someone would ask me to give one last lecture, I would not know what to say at all. Of course, I do not lecture on a normal basis so this request would not really make much sense to me. However, this video reminds people to live their lives and live for the moment. It is so important to be able to move forward and not focus on things that do not matter and things that we have no control over. I think it is also important for people to remember to be true to themselves and be creative. Life is too short to play it safe and not put your whole heart into things. People become way more successful when they are true to themselves and follow their heart.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
I like how he's taking life and smiling at it even if things may not be going his way I respect that . But I also like the point he state about wait long enough and give everyone a chance. To many of us judge people just after the first word that comes out their mouth but if you want to really know someone take time out and spend it getting to know that person.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
I think this video is awesome because i saw an earlier video of his delivering his last speech before he died to college graduates. The point he makes is what if we only had one speech or last thing to say--what would it be? I think that is very important because it makes it that more of a great message. It moves me every time i see any of his speeches because he rejoices in his decisions; he seems to not have any regret for going for his dreams and making them reality.

This video puts life into perspective. Give people a chance. When you want something, go for it? As he says, show how bad you want it? Be who you are and express your own creativity. If this was my last lecture, I would hope that my message sparks something within someone else to be a better person and encourage them to do something that may help someone else. I want to leave a legacy that people are proud of and admire.

TITLE - Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
This video is about the speaker and how he has cancer and act as if his last lecture was that day. He explains that he has alot of regrets and also achieved a couple of things. The speaker say that you have to give people time before you judge them. He also explains that obstacles that we go through are to show us how bad we want it and to stop people who do not want it. He says that if a child wants to paint a room let them paint it and that dreams will happen and you have to lead your life. This video can help one in the future to be the very best you can be and do the right thing.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
Wow! I wish I would have been able to watch this entire lecture (I found it on Youtube, so I will watch the hour long lecture soon), because I definitely teared up a little bit just from this introduction. As children we are asked what we want to be when we grow up. We say we want to be a dancer, an actor, a fireman, a police officer, a doctor, a star! For those who actually make these dreams come true, they are lucky, but many of us put our dreams on the back burner when having to make decisions about our life. Pausch says that anything is possible! Brick walls are there for a reason, because these help differentiate the people who really want something and the people who are satisfied with giving up. People are special, and you should give people time to surprise you. A few years ago I had a co-worker who had a very different personality than me. He messed up a lot at work, and he was not very detail oriented. I never could understand how he lived so haphazardly. Then I watched him motivate people with his laughter and his personality. I saw his art (he was a natural), and I realized that he had a lot to offer the world. His talents and strengths were much different than mine, but just as important.
Pausche also points out that working hard to make dreams come true is not necessary. It is not about how we accomplish our goals, but instead, how we live our lives. If we live our lives right, karma will make our dreams come true.

TITLE - Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
After watching this video, it made me realize what is really important to me in life. I love how positive and passionate this speaker was! I agree with him when he talks about living your life truthfully and work hard and karma will work its way out. I think we should all set goals and live our lives as fully as possible. We should try to make a difference in the world because our time is short. I think this "last lecture" idea was very unique and moving.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
Man this video was powerful. It packed a good and meaningful message. Although he was sick and going through alot, he stayed positive. This really has be thinking about my life and what I think of it. The little things I stress over, are really things out of my control and something I should not let affect me. I wonder what I would say if this were my last lecture. I would hope it could be as powerful and meaningful as this one.
