Randy Pausch's last lecture was a very sobering lecture. I believe him to be a wise man when it comes to teaching and encouraging others. A lot of people think they know how to motivate other people, but it is written that, "The purpose in a man's heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out." I know Pausch was a man of understanding that drew out a lot of people's potential and helped motivate them toward their own purposes in this life. Even now, his words are being heard and are touching people's hearts in a good way. A lot of people do forget about their childhood dreams once they get beat up and cast down just by living in a fallen world, but despite the facts of that, the truth of the matter is hope never disappoints.
I agree with his overall message and I believe that everyone should watch it, that it would bless them. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. So keep believing in your childhood dreams and keep hoping they will come to pass because with their fruition, life like you could have never imagined will most assuredly come.
Pauline, I enjoyed Dr. Pausch's lecture as well. I am so thankful we had a reason to sit down and listen to his speech. He is a wonderful motivator and educator. Motivating children is to me the hardest part of being a teacher. There is a lot we can learn from listening and watching his style. He was so humorous first of all and the use of props throughout really grabbed your attention. All of these things I think reflect his style as a teacher and are things that we can use to help in our own classes.
