[스크랩] Randy Pausch`s Last Lecture-Ophra Show

So, I'm reprising a talk that I gave in September at Carnegy Mellon University.

There's academic tradition called the "last lecture."
Hypothetically, if you knew you’re gonna die, you had one last lecture, what would you say to your students.
Well, for me, there's an elephant in the room. And an elephant in room is that for me wasn't hypothetical.
I've been fighting pancreatic cancer. It is now come back after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. And the doctors tell me there's nothing more to do and I have months to live.
These are my mostly recent CT scans. The pancreatic cancers are spread to my liver and there's approximately a dozen tumors.
I don't like this. I have three little kids. Let's be clear. This stinks. But I can’t do anything about the fact that I'm gonna die and pursuing medical treatments.
But I pretty much know about this movie's going to end. And I can’t control the cards are dealt, just how I do play the hands.
Now, if I'm not morose enough for you I'm sorry to disappoint. But I don't choose to be an object of pity.
And in fact, although I'm gonna die soon, I'm actually physically very strong. In fact I'm probably physically stronger than most of the people in this audience.
So, today’s talk is not about death. It's about life and how to live. Specifically about childhood dreams and about how you can try to achieve them.
My childhood dreams, your childhood dreams.
As a child I had an incredibly happy childhood. I went back and raided photo album and I couldn't find any places where I wasn't smiling.
All right, I just had a great childhood and I was dreaming, always dreaming.
It was an easy time to dream. When you turn on your television set, and a man are landing on the moon anything is possible and we should never loose that spirit.
So, what were my childhood dreams?
Playing in the National Football League! This is one of my childhood dreams I didn't achieved. Right, and it's very important to know that,
If you don't achieve your dreams but still you can get a lot by trying for it.
There's an expression that I loved, experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted.
When I played in a little league for a long time, and I have a phenomenal coach, Coach Jim Graham,
And he was old school and when I was one practice, he rode me all practice
You’re doing this wrong, you’re doing this wrong, go back and do it again, you slacking off, you owe me, you’re doing push-ups just for two hours.
He was relentlous. And after practice, one of the other assistant coaches came over and he said, yeah, Coach Graham rode you pretty hard. And I said, yeah. He said, that’s a good thing. Because it means he cares, when you doing a bad job and nobody points out to you that why they given up on you.
And that’s a so many flow that stuck with me if somebody is going to ride you for two hours that doing that because they care to make me better.
So, next dream, Walt Disney Imagineering, when I was age 8, my family took the pilgrimage to Disneyland in California and it was this incredible experience.
The rides and shows and attractions everywhere. And I said, "Gosh, I'd like to make stuff like that. When I get older"
So, I graduated from college, and I tried to become a imagineer this is the people who make the magic.
And I've got a lovely rejection letter and I tried again after graduate school and I have to kept all of these rejection letters over the years. Very inspirational!
But there's darned things happened. You know, I've work hard and work hard, and I became a junior faculty member and I specialized in doing in certain kinds of research. That's me. (ha). And, I developed skills that was valuable to Disney and I got a chance to go to there
And I was a part of Imagineering team and we worked on what we called Aladdin’s magic carpet like and it was an incredibly cool.
However, it took me over 15 years to do it and lots and lots of trials. What I learned from that that, the brick walls that are in our way, are there for a reason. They are not there to keep us out. They are there to give us a way to show how much we want it.
To get a childhood dreams, I recommend you have good parents! I lucked out. I have great parents.
Ah, this is my mother on her 70th birthday. I am the blur in the back. I have just been lapped.
And this is my father on his 80th birthday. This is notion of have fun all the time. Have sense of fun and wonder.
That shouldn't never go away. All right,
My dad, what an incredible guy. He fought in World War II and he was clearly part of the greatest generation.
Sadly, my dad passed out away a little over a year ago.
And when my mother was going through his things, that was when she discovered in World War II,
He was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor. In 50 years of marriage he had just never come up.
It's real lesson of humility that learn from my father though.
Now, my mother, Mothers are people who love even when you pull their hair.
And this was the a kind of relationship I had with my mother.
And my mother speaking of humility she was always there to keep me and check.
But I was going through graduate school I was taking really hard examinations.
I was home and pretty much complaining and whining about how hard this PhD test were.
And she just patted me on the arm and she said, we know how you feel, just remember when your father was your age he was fighting the Germans in World War II.
And when the day came when I got my Ph.D., and I was so proud and my mother introduced me to everyone as,
"This is my son, he’s a doctor but not the kind that helps people"
Probably though, the most wonderful thing my parents did was they let me painting in my bedroom
I said one day, "I want to paint stuffs on the walls" and they said, "Okay"
So I have a rocket ship and we lived on a ranch so I wanted an elevator, I wasn't sure where it would go.
And ah, you can tell the nerds you are early, that’s the quadratic equation.
And the great thing about that is they let me do it and they felt letting me express my creativity is more important prestine nature of walls.
And I was really blessed to have that parents who saw it that way.
My parents taught me about the importance of people versus things.
So, when I get older, I bought my first car and I was so excited with the shiny convertible.
This is my nice and nephew, Christopher and Laura.
Every month I taken them for a weekend so, my sister and her husband could get some little break. And we go off on adventures.
And just I shown up with my new car and my sister explained to Chris and Laura,
"That's Uncle Randy's new car you can’t get it dirty...dela dela.."
And they just cracking and laughing, because over her shoulder, I casually open her can of her soda and just empting it on the back seats.
And then they come running over my.. just, “What are you doing?" I said, "It's thing, it’s just a thing"
And I'm really glad I did that because the end of weekends I was driving to their home, little Chris who was about 8 years at that time, he had a flu and threw up all over the back seats of my car.
But I don't care how much value you get out of earning nice shiny pristine thing,
It is as nice good as I felt knowing that I made to 8-year boy not feel guilty, just cause he had the flu.
Next thing,
You better decide early on if you’re a Tigger or and Eeyore.
Tiggers are energetic. They're optimistic, they’re curious, they’re enthusiastic and they have fun.
And they never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.
I am dying soon, and I'm choosing to have fun today, tomorrow and every other day I have left.
If you want to achieve your dreams, you'd better work and play well with others. And that means, you gonna live with integrity.
Simple advice that you find hard to follow. Just tell the truth.
Second thing, when you screw-up then, appologize. There're a lot of bad apologies in America.
A good apology has three parts. "I'm sorry", "It was my fault", "How do I make it right".
Most people are skip that third part. That's why you can tell that with sincerity.
The last thing is that, we are all have the people that we don't like. If he don't things we don't like.
And what I have found is no-one is pure evil. If you wait long enough, they'll show you their good side.
You can’t make them do it in a hurry but you can be patient.
Show gratitude.
When I got tenure there is a young faculty member. In about fifteen young kids are have been working in my research lab and
I took all down to Disneyworld for a week on my nickel.
And one of my colleagues said, "This must have costs you an arm and a leg.... how could you do it?
I said these kids just worked day and night for years so could get the best job in the world for life.
How could I not do it?
When gratitude is very simple thing and it also very powerful thing.
And lastly, I don't think complying and winning really solves the problem.
This is Jackie Robinson, the first black major leaguer.
It was in his contract not to complain, if people spit on him. All right.
I don't care if you're Jackie Robinson or if you're guy like me who has only got couple of months left he live.
You can choose take your final time and energy and effort or you can spend it with complaining or you can spend it playing the game hard.
Which is probably gonna be more helpful to your long run.
Now, I told you this is a part of lecture series at Carnegie Mellon University and,
It’s important you to know, why I gave the talk. All right.
The talk isn't just about how to achieve your childhood dreams it's much broader than that.
It's about how to live your life.
Because if you lead your life in the right way, the karma will take care of itself.
The dreams will come to you. If you live properly, the dreams will come to you.
I know it's great so many people are benefit it from this lecture,
But the truth matter is I didn't even really even give it to the 400 people at Carnegie Mellon who're came.
I only worked this lecture for three people.
And they get older, they’ll watch it. Thank you.
