Randy Pausch Last Lecture

I have to confess that I didn't know about Professor Randy Pausch in neither his speciality area nor his last last lecture. :(

Today, I read that finally he past away in a news paper and listened to his last lecture at CMU, "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams."

Here is an excerption from his slides, "Important Advices":

• Be good at something: it makes you valuable
• Work hard... "what's your secret?"
• Find the best in everybody; no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it
• Be prepared: "luck" is where prepration meets opportunity

I like the first one best, and now I'm wondering what kind of advices I can give to my daughter. :)
