1. Dr. Pausch shares many things he has learned in life. What are two or three things you enjoyed/learned from your reading of the last lecture and what impact did/will they have on you and your future decisions? Please expound. It was revealed at the end that the "head fake" about the lecture is that it was intended for Pausch's children. He was teaching them to achieve their dreams and to help others achieve their dreams. His stories about his football coach, Jim Graham, and the first practice without footballs taught the players many more lessons than just how to play football. Fundamentals are the key to success because without the basic knowledge, you are not able to progress to more complex tasks. Taking this class is going to be a fundamental key for me because its teaching me what I need to know to get the most out of my college education by studying correctly. I often try to do things without learning the basics first and it causes me a lot of stress and wastes a lot of time.
Randy Pausch has had so many accomplishments, and he is an inspiration for achieving his childhood dreams and never giving up, even after he would hit a “brick wall”. His lessons have shown me that anything can be achieved, as long as you believe that you can do it,
