Recently, my friend told me about this video on a professor’s last lecture and mentioned that it could be found in youtube.

The video lasts for 1 hour plus! The longest video I watched in youtube!

It is a very inspiring lecture and he also shared about how he obtained his childhood dreams. One of the advices which caught my attention is:

when you are screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, it means they gave up.

Some background information:

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Honestly, do you have such an exciting life like him? Or are you in the process of creating one?

To those who are still having no ideas of what they want in life:

Give some thoughts about your life and ask if you should continue your normal lifestyle or start an exciting and memorable adverture while you still can?

When you are asked to give a last lecture about your life before you die, how exciting will it be?
