The Last Lecture - Gems of Prof Randy

Today I experienced an intense feeling after I finished reading " The last lecture " by late Dr.Randy Pausch,Professor, Carnegie Mellon.

To ruminate ,here are some gems from the book.

1.         It is importance to have specific dreams in your life

2.        The Brick walls are there for a reason.They are not there to keep us out.The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.

3.         Not all fairy tales end smoothly

4.         The truth can set you free

5.         Time is all you have.And you may find one day that you have less than you think

6.        A professor's job is to teach students how to see their minds growing in the same way they can see their muscles grow when they look in a mirror

7.        Earnest is better than hip

8.        Don't complain,work harder

9.        Treat the disease ,not the symptom

10       Don't obsess over what people think

11.     Watch what they do,not what they say.
