Stop worrying about whats going to happen and what could of happen, people should live in the moment and just enjoy whats going around you and appreciate it. Simply because life is short and people don't realize how quickly things can end. not just death, but anything your chance at education, spending time doing your hobby all can be taken away from you with a blank of a eye.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
Encouraging teachers to give their "last " lecture is a great idea. When pursuing our dreams there is going to be a lot of obstacles on the way, but as Randy states. If you work hard for it you will achieve it. The wall is there to keep the other people out. I think we should all have goals and dreams to achieve. That way we will be living our life to the fullest and not have any regrets.

TITLE - Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
This is the most touching video/lecture I have ever seen. I would've loved to be a part of this lecture. I agree with a lot of what he is saying, if someone tells you no then don't stop. The worse thing they can tell you is no again and again and again, but the best they can do is change their mind and say yes. A dream is a something that you want to do so badly but sometimes get knocked down. People saying things such as you will never do it. I was 16 years old when I started telling people that I wanted to own my own business one day. A few told me you can't do it and a few told me that you could. I'm going to tell you that the few that told me I couldn't do it were more motivation to me than the ones that told me I could.

This was such an awe inspiring video. I couldn't even begin to imagine what I would say as an "final" lecture. This really makes you evaluate your life and ask yourself: Am I really living?

I have actually seen Mr. Paush before in a speech he gave at fill in the blank here university and it was very motivating and very inspiring. We all think we have a great amount of time on this earth and that we can put off things until the next day. This type of example is why Mr. Paush says what he says, live well, stay true to yourself, have no regrets, and many more words of wisdom throughout his speech. I think we won't really know what he means until we end up getting news like this or realize it through a friend or relatives untimely death. I can watch every speech he gives and others in a similar situation but not understand until I am in the same situation.

This video was truly powerful. I believe that too much of our time is spent focusing on things that we have no control over and not enough on what we can control. I know that I am someone who does this and that I am trying ti make everyday worth living.

TITLE - Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
Randy Pausch's the last lecture is a lecture I would encourage anyone to listen to in full. This 4 minute clip isn't enough in my opinion. Just hearing his story is so encouraging and makes you truly want to reach for the stars in everything you do. His scenario is so rare, to see someone so close to death but so full of life. He has lives life to the best of his ability and can say that he has no regrets. The first time I saw his lecture was at a leadership retreat. The one thing he said that stuck with me is that brick walls are there to stop people who don't want it enough. You have to be strong enough to want it enough...to find a way to make your dreams happen.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
Wow this video really says a lot. We should all live as if it's our last day. There are so many stresses in this world that it is hard to live life carefree. This video inspires me to try. I want to enjoy everyday more and not just live for Fridays and Saturdays.

This video is about a man named Randy Pausche. Randy was diagnosed with cancer but decided to teach anyway. He was still extremely positive before he died. He said that experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. He also said it's not about accomplishing your dreams, it's about leading your life. If you lead your life in the best way the dreams will come to you.

This video was definitely emotional for me because I had an aunt that passed from colon cancer. i think if you ask yourself what I would say in my last lecture ? I think I would say I have loved with all my heart and mind. I have been compassionate with all my heart and mind. I have been a person full of integrity and character. I feel that you take nothing with you in this lifetime except how you influence people and make a difference. I can say that I have done that !

This was a very powerful video. I don't have a whole lot to say about it other that it was very inspirational. This man was facing his last days and he chose to remain positive and share his story to inspire others. Enjoying the time that we have on this planet is what is really important.

TITLE- Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture
This is a very moving video. I am very impressed with the enthusiasm and positivity Randy portrays in his speech. The message of importance in a last lecture is obviously powerful and highly influential. This motivated me more than any of the previous ninety-eight videos to grasp the intended message. I will definitely advise others to take on the same outlook that Randy has on life.

Randy Pausch’s use of symbolism when speaking of walls will be stuck in my head forever. He explains how walls are placed to stop us, so we can evaluate our lives. A wall serves as a benchmark to see how far we have come and how much further we are willing to go; we can let the wall defeat us or we can climb it! The analogy of when he was a child and how he drew on his walls at home was referring to his great ascent towards personal success. He challenges us to do the same. The speech is so beautiful because Randy recognizes how everything is a state of mind. Where a wall can be looked at as an obstacle in life, it can also be looked at as a blank canvas in need of drawing or understanding.

It is crazy that this professor is kind of giving his last lecture. Its great that he chose to talk about achieving childhood dreams. So many people give up on what they want as children to accept reality and pay bills. I liked when he said that if you give people enough time they will impress you and that if you live your life right, the dream will come to you. Loved this!

This was a great motivational video. From Randy’s positive demeanor to his positive view of brick walls the man was an optimist. Often times we give up on our dreams and stay inside the wall. However, this video certainly inspires me to go a little further and rethink what I want. If something is important, no amount of wall can keep you from reaching it.
