Dreams

Randy Pausch , a CS professor in CMU gave his "last lecture" on fulfilling your dreams. I would not even have imagined any person, with only few more months to live could be so energetic and elated. His research work in Virtual Reality is an excellent example of how one can make a difference to the world, help others fulfill their dreams. Some of the touching quotes from his lecture:
  1. "Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you. If you are pissed off at somebody and are angry at them, you have just not given them enough time. "
  2. "Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things."
  3. "Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted."
  4. "If you live your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, and the dreams will come to you. "
The 4th point about "karma will take care of itself" is confusing to me. For me, "Karma" is living your life the right way.
