Lesson Learnt from The Last Lecture

In my live, some of the most the precious lessons comes from the one who is on the edge of death.
If you have read Tuesdays with Morries, then you'll know.

Another inspiring lessons came from Randy Pausch.
Who is he?

Randy Pausch is a Professor at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In September 2006, he was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. He pursued cancer treatment that included major surgery and experimental chemotherapy; however in August of 2007 he was told that the cancer had metastasized to his liver and spleen. He then started palliative chemotherapy intended to extend his life as long as possible, which was then estimated to be three to six months. He remains vigorous and active six months later (February 2008.)

On the last lecture to his students he taught them about LIVE, How to live your life. If you live your life to the fullest, the dream will come to you.

Followings are the link to the video : http://www.sonnyradio.com/lastlecture.html.
Click on the second clip for his full lecture in Oprah. His last lecture has been downloaded by millions of people.

Some of the lessons that I learned from his lecture :

1.Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
Well.. that's very true, sometimes we thought that we are a loser when we don't get what we wanted. But if we see this from a different perspective, we actually gained lots of experience out of it.

2.When you have done a bad job and nobody let you know it, it means they have given up on you. So friends the next time you heard someone giving you comments on the bad job that you have done, it means they still care about you.

3. The importance of people vs things. Remember that for any ocassion, people has to be put first, things comes later.

4.Work and play with others. Remember that if we wait long enough, people will show their good side. So you can't hurry people, but you can be patience.

5.Last but not least. Don't complain just work harder. ^_^
Watch the entire video and you know what I mean.
Happy working everyone.
