A fantastic lecture

Was regret because I should have taken the initiative to find for the video clips after Pauline told us about 'The Last Lecture' talk by Dr. Randy Pausch.

I love few lines he touched about in his talk :

1) Brick walls let us show our dedication. They are there for a reason. They let us prove how
badly we want things

2) Be prepared, 'luck' is where preparation meets opportunity

3) Find the best in everybody, u may have to wait for a long time, sometimes years but people will show you their good side. Just keep waiting, no matter how long it takes.No is all evil, everybody has a good side, just waiting, it will come out. Wait long enough, and people will surprise and impress you

No doubt, many people have talked about these lines before, but I like the way Dr. Randy conveyed the essence of the sentence to us. Spend an hour to sit in front of the PC, slowly savouring a cup of coffee and I am sure u will get something meaningful from Dr. Randy's speech.

"Be prepared, 'luck' is where preparation meets opportunity."
i love this quote! it is very true and somehow very crucial for those who want to reach the level of 'success'.
