"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted." -Randy Pausch
(1960 - 2008) |
a. Christian the Lion
Bazillions of people have already come across this clip on YouTube so chances are you're also familiar with it by now. But in case you aren't, this is about a lion that was living in the wild when it was visited one day by the two guys that took care of him while he was growing up. The video shows their tearful reunion...right before it suddenly reared up and bit both their heads off (just kidding)!!!
Randy Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon who passed away June of 2008. Back in September of 2007, he gave a talk that is now more commonly known as The Last Lecture: if you had one last lecture to give before you die, what would it be? Having been given a prognosis at the time of only a few months left to live by his physicians, he was in a unique situation of being able to put together the topics he wanted to touch on based on that specific situation.
The official title of this most uplifting, very touching, and yes, inspirational lecture is: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
