Dying 47-Year-Old Professor Gives Exuberant ‘Last Lecture’

I just stumbled across this incredible video that could most likely be the best hour and 45 minutes of your week!

I will copy and paste the story instead of doing it a disservice and trying to describe it myself.

Dying 47-Year-Old Professor Gives Exuberant ‘Last Lecture’
Description: Randy Pausch: Almost all of us have childhood dreams: for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don't achieve theirs, and I think that's a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I've actually achieved most of them. More importantly, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU's Entertainment Technology Center (etc.cmu.edu), of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams. This talk will discuss how I achieved my childhood dreams (being in zero gravity, designing theme park rides for Disney, and a few others), and will contain realistic advice on how *you* can live your life so that you can make your childhood dreams come true, too.

The first post

Hello and welcome to blog de Luke Hoppel.

I'm going to skip the "about me" spiel as that's in my profile and most people will already know me anyways.

So what's going to be in this blog you ask? Well I have a lot of exciting things coming up in the immediate future and would like to keep my friends up to date with what's going on.

There will be talk of:
  • An upcoming launch and continued update of my new internet business (potential is incredible)
  • My next move - San Diego, Australia, Buenos Aires?? Still haven't decided but it will be interesting.
  • An occasional real estate case study for my friends breaking into Real Estate Investing
  • New and interesting facts and strategies that I learn in the Internet Marketing Field
  • A bunch of theoretical, talk about people, psychology, religion, success, happiness, business, politics etc....
  • My rants, raves and very opinionated (Is that a word?) talk about various topics.
That's a touch of what I plan to post on my blog. There's a very good chance that my blog will actually consist of this one post and that's all but I'll try to post every few days or so.

So there ya go. Stay tuned for interesting discussion (if you are the type who finds this type of talk interesting).
