My Professor told me to watch this and I kinda said “eh whatever” as I usually do with things like this. Then Heidi and I were channel flipping lastnight and we happen to run into the Diane Sawyer interview with the Pausch family. What an amazing world we live in that YouTube provided us with a gift of seeing this great man. I have posted notes on my board at work to try and follow some of the things that he mentioned.
Here is just a piece of that note:
You can’t get there alone!
- Tell the truth
- Hip is short term…earnest is long-term
- Apologize when you screw up
- Focus on others not yourself
The best gift an educator can give is to teach their student to be self reflective
-Randy Pausch
It’s important to have specific dreams
-Randy Pausch
Thank You Randy!
