It was a colleague of mine who linked me up with this video link from Randy Pausch diagnosed with a terminal illness providing the Last Lecture. It is not "If you have an opportunity" because for lessons like these I believe anyone should "make the time" to see this.CLICK THIS LINK (Randy Pausch Last Lecture)
As for the lessons he described:
- Brick walls exist for a reason. To let us prove how badly we want something
- When you are screwing up and no one says anything that means they gave up on you
- Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted
- To avoid screwing up: Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals!
- Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you
- Sometimes you don't know how high to set the bar, so don't
- One of the many downsides of being arrogant is that it will limit what you can accomplish in life
- Respect authority while questioning it
- Loyalty is a two-way street
- Way more important to be earnest than hip
- Get a feedback loop and listen to it
- Thank (reward) the people that got you where you are.
Be good at something. It makes you valuable- Luck is where preparation meets opportunity
- Don't complain, just work harder.
- If you lead your life the right way then charma will take care of itself.
- Dream
End.
