"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." - Randy Pausch. (reading for the 2nd time)

Decided to read this for some lifelessons.His story was so inspiring.

Short but wonderful book. Put it down halfway through. Need to finish it.

Looking for some life answers. Wow? Haha

Chapter 16: Romancing the Brick Wall

FINISHED! but did I miss something, is the lecture in the book?

I have some time to read today, yay!

Picked this up at the thrift store today, been meaning to read it for awhile

I really like the list of childhood dreams & how each chapter addresses one, very inspiring, I'm totally doing that!

Ready to read this now, was a little afraid of how sad it would be ...

Should I break out the Xanax before I start reading?

Finally got to the actual lecture part... Way too much leading up to it.

one of the most inspirational book ever :):) beautiful story

Reading simultaneously with "Not the last goodbye" :) ;) :( Both sad, poignant, but completely and utterly inspiring & motivating. #lovelife #gratitude #faith #hope #love #family

Makes you take a closer look at your life

Actually watching the DVD of the actual lecture

What a book!!! Very well written and inspirational!

I need to read this whole book before my teacher kicks my butt hahah

listening to it via iTunes U. stellar all the same. <3

Finished this last night. Amazing read. I suggest you read it too!

I usually avoid "sad" books like the plague but Pausch's musings on life are funny, touching, and beautifully expressed.

This is one of the most inspiring books I have ever had the privilege to read !! I cannot seem to put it down !

Wow. I hate to use the word "enjoyable" when reading the words of a man who knows he is going to die soon, but this was a great book. Randy died shortly after this came out, but his words still make... more

Wow. I hate to use the word "enjoyable" when reading the words of a man who knows he is going to die soon, but this was a great book. Randy died shortly after this came out, but his words still make perfect sense. One thing though; the last 3-4 chapters were incredibly difficult to make it through, as a father. Highly recommend this one though; not a real lengthy read.

Such an amazing book :D loved each page of it ~ highly recommended (Y)

Heartbreaking, challenging, and inspiring. "...The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it bad enough. They are there to stop the other people."

read it or listen via @youtube. it

"Never lose the child-like wonder. It's just too important. It's what drives us."
