    We learn that while Randy did everything in his power to achieve all of his childhood dreams, not everything was accomplished. We learn the power of failing and how that can also help achieve your dreams. We learn that sometimes your dreams do not come true but may lead you to something you may not have realized you wanted in the first place. The theme of his lecture was about how having childhood dreams and the road to achieve these dreams may be blocked by “brick walls” (cmu.edu) but teaches that “brick walls are there for a reason, they let us prove how badly we want things”. (cmu.edu) That is one of many inspirational quotes given by Randy in his 75 minute lecture.…

Pausch says, “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” (page 17). Throughout his book, Randy uses tone to show his children how hard he fought to stay alive longer so he could be there for them as they grew older.…

    Despite his exceptionally optimistic and intellectual views, along with his major accomplishments, I would not be Randy Pausch’s friend. After reading The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, I can see our personalities and actions would undoubtedly clash and it would make for a not so pleasant relationship. Randy and I would not be friends seeing that I would more than likely compare myself to him, inevitably making me feel bad about myself, I do not agree with a few of his somewhat selfish decisions, and because he is a particularly opinionated man that sometimes tends to offend people with his bluntness. Randy has accomplished just about every single dream he has ever set his mind to. He explained, “Whatever my accomplishments, all of the things I loved were rooted in the dreams and goals I had as a child...and in the ways, I had managed to fulfill almost all of them” (10).…

The things that go on in today’s society have played a major role in how this generation, along with others turn out. An individual being raised in a single-parent home, in an immoral community, or maybe even losing someone that meant everything to them can affect their lives in ways that can either send them down the right or wrong road. Also, a person’s choices or decision-making skills can affect their life in a major way. “Your choices will determine your future” was always something I was told as a youth.
