Childhood Dreams

Have you really achieved your childhood dreams or are you among the vast majority of people who just swim through life and take it as it comes? Is fulfillment of dreams essential to give a meaning to life or do you have a nihilist approach to life?

Last week saw the passing away of Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon. Randy gave his phenomenal ‘Last Lecture’ at CMU after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The lecture he gave-‘Really achieving Childhood Dreams’ combines humour, intelligence and inspiration. It is about overcoming obstacles, enabling dreams of others and seizing every moment. If you have not heard the lecture, do watch it on YouTube at http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo&feature=related

‘We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand’ – Randy Pausch
