This video was inspiring and educational about life and success. Randy Pausch is a very positive and inspiring person and its easy to tell that he really cares about making people happy and helping them to become successful. He did many amazing things and changed many lives by his actions as well as his personality. I really enjoyed his lecture because I thought it was so great and inspiring that some one in his condition was standing up there talking about having fun and how you can achieve your childhood dreams. His story and all the things he achieved were very inspiring.
I think that Randy gave very good advice for aspiring teachers. One of the techniques he explained is to make it fun. He used humor all through his lecture, whether it was to make a point or to keep it interesting. This shows that he feels it is important not to treat things like the cant be enjoyable. He was very good at explaining things to where they were relate able to everyone.
Another technique that Randy used was listening to others and their criticism. He gave many examples of how he did this. One example was his coach in football when he was a kid telling him that when people stop criticizing you that means they stop caring. Another example was Andy Van Dam and how he helped him. He also explained how he had his class use peer evaluation to tell people how easy they were to work with.
Another important piece of advice Randy gave about reaching your dreams is not giving up the first time and also believing in karma. He gave examples of his own life and how he didnt get into the schools he wanted the first time. His successes are very inspiring for anyone who feels discouraged. One quote he used that I really liked was, "Brick walls let us show our dedication." He also stressed the idea that if you live your life a certain way then your dreams will sometimes come to you. He also said that if you focus on other people first then the favor would be returned. I think that his life story is very inspirational and I am so glad he chose to do this lecture and that I was able to see it.
