Randy Paunch’s Quotes That Apply to My Life.

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 with quotes that have been circulating around the web since his stunning lecture that touched so many people. It gave them courage to live a better life by treating others better and never give up on their dreams.
The quotes I think applied to my life are as followed: “It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.” I have read something like this in the book “The Secret” and I try to do in my life. Karma is a powerful force in the universe that many people do not think about. But when a person is thinking good things in their mind it seems to come out in our expressions and attitude to other person, which makes them happy to. Then in turn it comes back to that person like a circle, if you give the universe good thoughts and actions it returns it back to you.
“If I could only give three words of advice, they would be, “tell the truth”. If I got three more words, I'd add: “All the time”. This is something I truly believe in. If you tell someone a lie when you mess up and they catch you, that person will lose trust in you and you will lose their loyalty. But if you tell the truth all the time, a person will know that when it comes down to it, they can trust you in other things and they will be loyal to you for being honest with them and taking responsibility for your own actions or mess ups. “Find the best in everybody.” Everyone has a good thing about them. Whenever we look for the best in someone we give that person a reason to keep going when they are down. It gives that person confidence of their self-worth. Which in turn makes them open there mind and accomplish the task at hand. Having someone believe in you makes a person feel good about them self and in turn they make you feel good to.
In conclusion, Randy Paunch’s quotes gave people a new found perception on their life and the way they should be living it. He was a man who knew he was going to die, but could not do in thing to stop it and he never stopped living he’s life the way he spoke in his quotes. Many of the quotes that he says are very similar to quotes I read about in the book “The Secret”. I use these similar quotes to live by in my life and when used properly the outcomes are the same as what was being spoke about by living this way using these quotes.
