What Can We Learn About Teaching and Learning From Randy Pausch?

In Randy's Pausch's Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams he starts his lecture by introducing the "elephant in the room" which is he has tumors in his liver and has only five months to live. His health is in good condition and he probably is healthier than the average person. He states he didn't want to talk about his cancer, so he decides to discuss achieving his childhood dreams. When he tells the audience about his cancer he did not seem sad and didn't want others to have sympathy for him. He said that he would live his last days being happy. What I learned from his lecture is to never give up and always achieve your goals and dreams. No matter what obstacles may come in your way do your best. When you set a goal for your life accomplish it. Live everyday like it's your last!
