Randy Pausch's lecture was amazing. He was very interesting. He spoke about his childhood dreams. He let the audience know that it was important to have specific dreams. The way he spoke to the audience was intriguing. He spoke to them as if he was having a conversation with each of them.

Pausch said that experiences are what we get when we didn't get what we wanted. When he said this it made think about what he said. This is a very true statement. Pausch had six childhood dreams that he wanted to achieve. However, he did not achieve them in the way he wanted to in some way he was connected to it.

I liked how Pausch spoke about the people who inspired him and about his parents. At the beginning of the lecture, he spoke about how when he was going through his childhood pictures and not once did he find a picture with him not smiling. I think his upbringing is a major part of his life and has allowed to always push forward and strive for his dreams.

At the beginning of the lecture Pausch informed the audience that he had 10 tumors and about six months of living left. He was not said about it in fact he let the audience know that he has had a wonderful life and it is what it is. Through out the lecture his seemed very happy. The most important part of the lecture was to inform the audience that you must have childhood dreams. They should a goal that you are trying to reach and you should never give up. Paush lecture was a truly inspirational lecture.
