A book review of "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" by Randy Pausch.
Faced with a diagnosis that said Prof. Pausch had just 6 months of 'good health left'.. the 47 year old dynamo of enthusiasm delivers his 'last lecture' at Carnegie Mellon University (where he taught)... which actually becomes his legacy.

A thought occurred to me on my journey to my hometown. When I stood as a third person to analyze my thought magic happened; I realized that what occurred to me is common as an individual. I asked these questions to me:
1. What happens when an Adversity strikes?
2. Do we really have the power to overcome this?
3. What do we do to control this?
4. Can a solution to an outcome be applied to all?
These were some of the basic questions which struck me while I was penning down my thoughts on writing this book.
I love this Motivational Quotes for Students by Michael Jordan because it’s easy to forget that the more you do, the more you fail. As they say: “You win some. You lose most.”
If you’re not failing, then you’re either not doing enough, and/or you’re not challenging yourself enough.

Why people donʼt act assiduous
Peo-
ple
can
be so
rude
and
in-
con-
sid-
er-
ate,
they
never
act assiduous. If they acted assiduous they wouldn’t wonder why people acted so rude
towards them. I had a questioned mailed into me:
“Why do men not act assiduous anymore? Itʼs not like girls donʼt like kind things done to
them.”
This is a great question. Guys think that women want to be independent so they don’t
do that many things for them anymore, unless they are a true gentlemen. If you have
been dating someone for a long time, you should tell them that you want them to open
the car door for you or pull out your chair for you. If he truly loves you he’ll do these little
things for you.

When people act Peevish
16. Research Paper Love 16
When people act peevish I think that it is one of the most childish things that a
person could do. Why should they sweat the little stuff? If you just let it all go your life
will just go so much smoother.
I got a question mailed into me this week and I want to share it with my readers:
“When Iʼm at work people always try and get their way. Though when it doesnʼt go their
way, even over the littlest thing they have a major freak out. Why is that”
That is a really good question. People want everything their way or the highway.
If it can’t be theirs they will never really be happy. When that happens again this is what
you should do:
Try and combine your ideas with their so they won’t get all freaked out over the littlest
details.
