- Why do you think Randy Pausch was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams?
In it, Randy ( who is diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer ) give some great thoughts on life. He says that tenacity is the key. "Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to to show how badly we want something."
- Do you feel that dreaming is important? Why or why not?
I feel like dreaming is very important. One thing about dreaming is that it doesn't necessarily have to be realistic. In dreams, anything is possible and our minds can be as creative as they want. There are no boundaries and no impossibilities. Snapping back to reality, our dreams allow us to attempt to create something that is impossible today, but might not be tomorrow.
I think many people have dreams of flying but this guy actually decided to figure out how to do it. Pretty impressive for something cobbled out of zip ties, duct tape, a pair of pliers as a hand held accelerator and a bunch of electric motors.
- Discuss at least one of your childhood dreams. Explain why you believe you can or cannot achieve this dream.
I honestly don't remember any of my childhood dreams. I've had other desires since. I really wanted to build some great speakers. I have them in my living room right now, almost completely built and am starting to test them and measure them today. It took me at least a year of research and a good solid several months to build them, but the dream is finally coming to fruition and I'm EXCITED. They should rival some very high end speakers in the 10's of thousands dollar range and be able to reproduce pretty much anything I want to throw at them.
Until next week.
