One lesson I learned from The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch is that challenges are there for a reason‚ and I have to push through them. He said‚ “the brick walls are there for a reason. They’re not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.” (Pausch 59) By this he means that challenges will be present throughout life‚ but they test the individual’s determination.
