Brick Walls In The Last Lecture By Randy Pausch

The quote stated by Randy Pausch in The Last Lecture about brick walls has an inspiring meaning behind it. Obstacles that anyone faces whether they overcome them or not, is the main idea in this specific quote; as is whether or not you have the will power and determination to get what you desire.

The brick wall itself is a standing obstacle that someone would have to overcome or climb over. When you want something bad enough, your drive kicks in and takes over to make you successful. The line "The brick walls are there for a reason", represent that everyone has there individual obstacles that they face and how you approach this is what will create prosperity or failure. When given the opportunity to rise and prove ourselves to others,
countless people would take that brick wall and strive to conquer it. The strong, courageous, independent, steadfast individuals are the types of people, as it says it the quote, who want it bad enough. If you are facing a challenge and all you accomplish is bringing yourself down, your going nowhere near over that wall. Instead, those people give up and become depressed when all they needed was motivation which is what gets you through life. When it states in the quote "They're there to stop the other people", it's the people who inadequately face the wall of obstacles.
