    6a Last Lecture

    The Last Lecture by Dr. Randy Pausch was extremely insightful. Throughout the

    entire lecture, he gave phenomenal advice for not only achieving goals, but also how to

    live life. There are so many important words of wisdom to take away from his life

    experiences and pieces of advice. Some of the ideas that stood out the most to me

    include if people stop telling you what you can do better that means they’ve stopped

    caring about you, don’t put the bar anywhere because that will only limit you or others,

    never lose the child-like wonder, and have fun every day.

    Dr. Pausch is obviously very well spoken and engaging. He knows how to

    capture an audience. One of the very first things he said that really caught my attention

    was when he was talking about his football coach. He said something along the lines of

    if people stop being hard on you, that means they’ve stopped caring. This stood out to

    me because it really puts into perspective why it’s important to pay attention to who

    gives you feedback and criticism. If someone is being hard on you, it means that they

    care about you and want you to do well. This is a great perspective to take with me in

    my future career. For instance, if my boss or mentor is tough to please and gives me

    real, constructive criticism, I will keep the perspective that this means they care about

    me.

    Additionally, I loved his story about the class he taught when the students did so

    well on the first project he didn’t know what to do. His mentor gave him great advice to

    tell them that he knows they can do better. The idea that if you refuse to set the bar

    anywhere, you are not limiting yourself or others is such a great lesson. By setting a
    bar, no matter how high, you are setting a ceiling for your expectations. If the

    expectations are unclear, they could easily be exceeded. Setting the bar only limits your

    potential to achieve even greater things. This will definitely be something I carry with me

    in my life and career. When I work to achieve things, I will do my best to not set the bar

    for my performance anywhere so I don’t limit my potential for greatness.

    Another great piece of advice Dr. Pausch shared was to not lose your child-like

    wonder. I love this advice. Life can feel so serious at times, especially as we get older

    and have more responsibilities. Not losing that child-like wonder is so important

    because as he says, it’s what drives us. We need the ability to dream and fantasize. I

    would like to work to implement this lesson in my life by not forgetting the things I loved

    to do as a child. I will also remember that it’s a good thing to dream. Hopefully I can

    achieve some of my childhood dreams like he did and continue to create new goals

    based on that child-like wonder.

    Lastly, I love his advice to have fun every day. It ties back to not losing your

    child-like wonder. Life gets serious and I will face many obstacles throughout my life,

    but I don’t want to forget to still have fun every day. This advice was so profound

    coming from him because while he’s battling cancer, he said he will have fun every

    single day for the rest of his life. Life really is about making the best of things and being

    grateful for what you have. Having fun is such an important part of life. I will try to do

    something that brings me joy every day.

    Overall, I loved this lecture. He is such an amazing speaker and knows how to

    capture an audience. Every piece of advice he had is something I’ll take with me. I loved
    his outlook on life and how his experiences have truly shaped him into the person he is

    today. I will take a lot of ideas from this video with me throughout life.
