I got this (sad, funny, entertaining, moving, motivating, you name it...) video clip from a friend. Randy Pausch a CMU professor dying of pancreatic cancer delivering his last lecture. If you find it good, watch the whole 2hour lecture here.
Best thing about this lecture is its finale. I think I never have seen (or attended) a lecture with such intense ending that made me think over and over again. I wouldn't say that this lecture changed my life though it for sure made a huge impact. At the very least, it made me think seriously, whether I do what I always wanted to do?
Talking about childhood dreams, I don't think it'd be easy to achieve my childhood dreams, except for a few. Mine are not as specific as Randy's, they usually are more generic in nature. However, it is not the time to reveal them yet (huh! topsy krets). Hopefully, I would someday be able to blog (or do the equivalent of blogging then) on my childhood dreams and how successful I was in achieving them.
The whole lecture was full of food for thoughts, but one clue in particular on achieving childhood dreams:
Brick walls are there for a reason. They let us prove how badly we want things.
