【Recommend】Dying 47-Year-Old Professor Gives Exuberant ‘Last Lecture'

[MikiRei 10]

Description of the video (from the description section of the video :p)

Almost all of us have childhood dreams: for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. ... all » 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, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU's Entertainment Technology Center (etc.cmu.edu), of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams. This talk will discuss how I achieved my childhood dreams (being in zero gravity, designing theme park rides for Disney, and a few others), and will contain realistic advice on how *you* can live your life so that you can make your childhood dreams come true, too.

This guy reminds me of this lecturer at my university. A truly brilliant mind and a pleasure to listen to. He makes me want to pursue a MET rather than an MBA xd:E

Hope everyone enjoys it and maybe, this breaks the stereotype that programmers are all boring nerds. :p:p (because we're not)

Dr. Randy Pausch's speach?

Personally I don't feel like I learned much after listening to it.

His philosophy of life doesn't match well with my own.

First off, that was one of the best lectures I have EVER heard!

(Testament to the qualities of lectures in Taiwan= ="")

And second, I agree with almost every one of his points; in fact, I view most of them as common sense (and so does my mom, who wanted me to stop wasting my time on "things you already know").

Thank you for sharing, MikiRei!!!
