Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

Randy Pausch was a teacher. He taught others by living out his dreams and telling others about them. He used this along with telling others about his lived experiences as some of his techniques to teaching. He also talked about his childhoold dreams, lessons learned, and how to enable to dreams of others. He made the lessons he learned into comics that were funny and easy for others to learn from. He also said in the video that it is a good idea "to have something to bring to the table." This meant to be prepared with something interesting to talk about with a good, detailed presentation.

His presetation used techniques such as colorful text, scanned photographs, clip art, stories, and videos. Thi kept the auidence intrigued throughout the whole lecture. He also talked about you should never give up, and that you should always find a reason to enthusiastic. He then talked about his comfort zone, the football field, and how your dreams emcompass you. He also used quotes to deliver his message to people listenting to the lecture. He used good references aswell such as the web, articles, and the Encyclopdia World Book.

He did not talk much about his tumors in his liver. He did not want to dwell on his sickness, but celebrate his life he has lived. He talked about how his family just moved to a new house; meaning he was looking out for his family in the future. He had a great attitude about his sickness and was still in shape. He felt you really could not change the life you are handed, ang couraged people to move on and seek freedom no matter what tries to overcome them.

He talked about themes such as leadership, friends and fellowship, family, dreams, attitude towards life,the age of sinism, using your imagination, andd reliving his childhood experiences as often as he could. I felt his lecture was really inspirational. He reminded me of my dad and how the responded to his diagnoses of cancer. He continued to live life to the fullest and told others to do so as well. Randy also talked about how "brick walls" can be put up block you or to block others, it is your decision how and why they get put up, if they cannot be avoided.
