Comments on: Randy Pausch on Oprah? http://ronaldlewis.com/randy-pausch-on-oprah/ Life without borders Mon, 12 Jul 2010 02:43:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Marcy Solazzo-Marks http://ronaldlewis.com/randy-pausch-on-oprah/comment-page-1/#comment-23141 Marcy Solazzo-Marks Fri, 09 May 2008 21:30:43 +0000 http://ronaldlewis.com/2007/10/04/randy-pausch-on-oprah/#comment-23141 This is a lecture that should be shown to children of all ages. The youth sometimes feel like they want and want when what they really NEED is good parenting, respect, and dreams. This man is the true meaning of life and hope. What he said about "do me a favor if your child wants to paint their bedrooms do me a favor and let them." How simple but how true. We all get so caught up in so many other things in life, however, if we are just simply good people and parents life will take care of itself.

Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things. 2. Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. 3. Never lose the child-like wonder. 4. If we do something which is pioneering, we will get arrows in the back. But at the end of the day, a whole lot of people will have a whole lot of fun. 5. Be good at something; it makes you valuable. 6. If you live your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, and the dreams will come to you.
