During Randy Pausch's Last Lecture he speaks a lot about achieving childhood dreams. He talks about the brick walls we run into and how they are to show us how much we really want something. They weed out the people who don't want it bad enough. I think this is important, it wouldn't be called an achievement if it was given away.
Another thing that he said in this video is to listen. Listen to your feedback and grow from it. Mentors are there to help guide you into the direction you want to travel. Feedback from others about how easy you are to work with is very important. If you are hard to work with no one is going to want to help you accomplish your goals. Having something to bring to the table is also very helpful thing on your path to your dreams.
One quote that I really enjoyed Pausch say was, "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted". I find this very encouraging. People are focused on the goals so much they for get about what happened to get them so far.
Throughout this video he talked about the "head fake" and how it is when people are learning something other than what they are thinking they are learning. This video itself was a head fake in that we weren't really learning how to achieve our childhood dreams but rather how to truly live your life to the fullest. This is an inspirational video that I think everyone should watch and grow from. Even when you're dream looks like the impossible, believe in it and push yourself to make it a reality.
