The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

“Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things” Randy Pausch

This week, I had the opportunity of watch by first time the video The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. I found it instructional and motivating, so I will share the YouTube video in this blog.


If we analyze the speech of Randy Pausch, we face that he had many dreams in their children as much of us. He wanted to feel 0 gravity, playing football, being a Disney imaginer, etc. But the reason because Randy achieve his childhood dreams was because he taught that all things are possible, and he had the inspiration to make his best effort to accomplish his goals.

Something important in the life of Randy is that he didn’t achieve his dreams as was originally written, he discovered that some dreams needed to be modified to be attainable, so he did it.

Dreams were important in the life Randy, and in our life because give us an objective. Personally, I admire Martin Luther King because he had a dream, in his famous speech he says several times “I have a dream today!”. How many of us have a dream today?

As Randy, during my childhood I had some dreams. I liked superman, and I liked flying like superman. I wanted to be a LDS full time missionary, a doctor, a civil engineering, a firefighter. I wanted to have 12 children, and life in a ranch with a lot of horses.

Some of this dreams have been reached, but others have been modified to be attainable. My dream of get married have not been reach yet, and I don’t think to modify it. So, I am working in this special dream because I don’t think that dreams are attainable when we are sleeping. This semester I am taking two courses related in the university Marriage, and Family Relations, and obviously, I am dating, even when I have many free time (I am raking 15 credits in the university, and I am collaborating in a new small company).

What are your dreams? What are you doing to reach it?

Continue your Journey

In the entrepreneurship journey, the most important to reach the goal is staying in the way. Most of entrepreneur don`t reach their goals because they abandon their purpose, or they don’t see a soon happy ending. Elder Holland teach us about blessings, and how sometimes blessings could delay, but for all whom are faithful, blessings will come. Sometimes projects are not following a good way because we are making any mistake. So, it is important during our journey make a step back, visualize the way, make pertinent adjustments, and start to walk to the main objective. Taylor Richards in a video that I was watching this week say that we are able of reach anything, we just need to start, and then during the work new ideas and solutions will come to our mind. Entrepreneur tip: When you are having a problem in the production process of a product or any other project, you can use “the 5 whys”. A method developed by Sakichi Toyoda and used to find the root cause of a defect. Th...

Become

This week, I had the opportunity to interview an entrepreneur who works in the tourism industry with a travel agency. This experience helped me to learn some basic and universal principles about what define an entrepreneur as successful. During the interview, I learned that he never focused in money or income as a goal, but he focused so much in the following aspects: 1. A happy family is the main goal of any project. 2. An important asset of an entrepreneur is his network. 3. You can measure how good are you manage your business when you are able to leave your business because you are sick or another event, and the business is still running. I learned about the behavior a good entrepreneur that an entrepreneur is always looking for new opportunities of business. A good entrepreneur is not just a people who know how manage effectively his resources, but he knows how raise resources when it is necessary. An entrepreneur is a creative person, a person who don’t fear to mak...

Happiness

Fulfilment, satisfaction, and happiness are reasons because we want to become entrepreneurs, spouses, parents, recognized, or whatever. President Thomas S. Monson shared a formula to success in our live. The 3 steps that he shares are: Fill our mind with truth Fill our live with service And, fill our heart with love I have proved that 3 steps work to have a happy life. Sometimes, entrepreneurs and people in general search for happiness in sensual pleasures (good food, drink, and sex), but at the end, they discover that these pleasures don’t fulfill them enough, and don’t give them the happiness than they are looking for. President Monson suggest “that when we search for truth, we search among those books and in those places where truth is most likely to be found.” The knowledge from good books help us to avoid bias in our path to the happiness. Service, it is one of the best ways to enrich our life of happiness. Implicit factors in service are to be grateful wi...
