Well, almost one month has passed when finally I pick up the blog again. Everything was driving me mad until a week ago when I earn my happiness and power again. I keep busy and doubt that I don’t have the desire to write long passage again. You know, that situation is just like a poet doesn’t want to write a poem, a pianist not to play the piano and a student not to study.

Until something touches you, knocks your heart and finally beats you.

It’s not something emerging suddenly. It accumulates and you don’t even notice it just like cold water running below the ice board.

And one day the spring comes and the ice breaks. That ice breaker in my life recently is Randy Pausch. Tonight I watch the video of the Last Lecture, given by Randy Pausch.

Maybe you all don’t know him. So it’s necessary to introduce him first.

 Randy Pausch 

Absolute he is an awesome professor. Not to mention his academic achievement, his spirit make shim more attractive. You can see a fraction of his academic achievement in his lecture, but you can definitely feel his spirits about dream and life.

As a man who is dying in a few months because of cancer, you can still feel his happiness, his persistence to dream, his power and his love. In the last lecture he made the audience laugh every minute while he may be dead just a few months later. And in his life he enables others to realize their dreams and makes his own dreams come true.

 The brick wall 

The brick wall appears in his PPT for several times. Yes, there’s always a brick wall for dream climbers. But he said:

Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things.

Brick walls just stop those who don’t want it so badly. And we will finally get through the wall because we want it badly. There’s about the dream and the setback. He is right and he realize his dreams.

 How to get people help you  

l         You can’t get there alone, and I believe in Karma

l         Tell the truth

l         Be earnest

l         Apologize when you screw up

l         Focus on others, not yourself (for example …

When he talked about the example, a really big cake came up the platform, and it’s for Randy’ wife. His wife cried for the happiness. You can’t imagine a wife  accompanying his husband for the last days when received such a cake and a birthday songs form such a large audience. She didn’t anything. No words can express such feeling.

Well, I can’t write everything down. You’d better watch the whole lecture. I’m sure you’ll something to inspire your life.
