I work in IT and don't worry you are not getting advice from me about how to live your life. Today I have been introduced by one of my work colleague to watch "The last lecture" on youtube by a computer science professor called Randy Pausch. Sadly he died of pancreatic cancer couple of days ago on July 25th, 2008.
Before his death he delivered a very powerful lecture called "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams". The content of the lecture use his own life experience and his own childhood dreams to explain how one can inspire others (as well as oneself) to achieve their dreams.
He has covered many items within his presentation, He also uses some very good quotes to emphasis his points. "We cannot change the cards we were dealt, just how we play the hand" to describe how he tries to cope with his final months of his life and not in self-denial about his cancer. Some techi humor quotes "I have experienced death bed convergence.. I have just brought an Macintosh" . There is even advice to young ladies getting into a romance relationship “Just Ignore everything they [men] say, only pay attention to what they do”.
Anyway I better stop here , just click on the youtube image below...
