A real role model, Randy Pausch

Thanks Eddy give me this lecture, or I would have missed this great lecture, a real role model.
I was deeply removed by his brave, his passion, his dedication, his humor, the strong character he has played. It's lucky i can take the lecture as if Randy is still alive.

I picked some sentences when i watch it:
1. [ Playing in the NFL] And that’s a really goodstory because it’s all about fundamentals. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals. You’ve gotto get the fundamentals down because otherwise the fancy stuff isn’t going to work.

2. [ Playing in the NFL] He said, when you’re screwing up and nobody’s saying anything to you anymore, that means they gaveup. And that’s a lesson that stuck with me my whole life. Is that when you see yourself doingsomething badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are your ones telling you they still love you and care.

3. experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted

4. Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things

5. One of the things that Jon Snoddy as I said told me, is that you mighthave to wait a long time, sometimes years, but people will show you their good side. Just keepwaiting no matter how long it takes. No one is all evil. Everybody has a good side, just keep waiting,it will come out.

6. Some brick walls are made of flesh.

7. you just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or and Eeyore








8. I used to like wearing it in grad school, and one of my friends, Jessica Hodgins would say, whydo you wear this letterman’s jacket? And I looked around at all the non-athletic guys around mewho were much smarter than me. And I said, because I can.

9.Don’t bail. The best of the gold’s at the bottom of barrels of crap.

10. Show gratitude.

11. Important Advice
  • Be good at something: it makes you valuable
  • Work hard … “what’s your secret?”
  • Find the best in everybody; no matter how you have to wait for them to show it
  • Be prepared: “luck” is where preparation meets opportunity


Have you figured out the head fake?
