"The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch

This lecture had many good points presented.First, recognizing your dreams is important but you must be able to lead your life first. Success does not happen by dreaming and wishing. You have to put forth effort to reach a goal. Live your life to the best of your ability and watch what happens.
The moment a teacher stops correcting, they have stopped caring. As teachers, we have to constantly correct and guide students. This is a very crucial part of our job. We must be willing to invest our time and energy into giving our best to our students.


Brick walls show our dedication. We are constantly facing problems and obstacles in our profession.What we do about our problems defines us. We must be willing to do what it takes to overcome issues and resolve them to the best of our ability. Giving up is not an option. Our students deserve the absolute best we can give them.



When you get feedback listen. As teachers we must listen to our students, piers, parents and other authority. Sometimes you may recieve constructive
criticism and other times you may recieve negative criticism. However, you will never know unless you listen. Evaluate what people are saying to you before you speak. Listening is a fascinating quality to possess.


Show gratitude at all times in your life.As Americans we have so much to be grateful for. As college students we should be grateful we have the opportunity to be furthering our education. Always be grateful for the opportunities given to you. So many people are unable to go to school for whatever reason around the world. Count your blessings and always possess an attitude of gratitude.Dont complain, work harder.
Find the best in everybody, no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it.
