What is Pausch’s legacy?
What is Pausch’s legacy? A legacy is what you leave behind after you're gone, something heroic. Pausch left many materialistic items, such as insurance, a home, a way his family could live comfortably after he was gone. With all this planning and making sure his family would be okay, he truly left a legacy.
Paucsh left behind knowledge, strength,understanding, compassion and so much more. Between his last lecture and his book "The Last Lecture," Pausch shows his true outlook with whoever cares to experience it. "It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, then karma will take care of its self". A quote taken directly from his "Last Lecture."
Pausch is in an inspiration, a man who truly lives an unselfish life. Caring and helping others, always finding the positive side to every down fall. Pausch will continue to inspire many people, young and old, girl or boy, and he does it all by a lecture and book he wrote for his kids. Now, if that isn't a legacy for the ages, I don't know what is.
What is your response to hearing his story?
Pausch is a very educated, head-strong individual. He may be a little thick headed at times, but when it comes down to it Pausch deals with everything in a logical and positive manner. He doesn't blow up at little things, nor does he let the negative challenges life through at him drag him down.
With reading "The Last Lecture" my response is straight forward in the fact that what he was teaching, was exactly how he lived his life in believing no dream was too big.
This story has given me a motivation, and positive new outlook on life. His story gave me a new insight on how to deal with the negative energy and challenges we will be given in life. Pausch has definitely made a positive impact on my life, I will look back at this book as a reminder when things start to get me down, and try to find the lesson in a positive way.
How does hearing his story affect the way you feel about your life and priorities?
Hearing Pausch's story, makes one reevaluate their lives and priorities. Personally, Pauschs story has made me realize I over analyse, expect to much, and ____ in life. With that, this story kind of makes you feel like a very selfish, spoiled person. It makes me feel as though all the volunteering i do isn't enough. That when i have bad days i shouldn't cause there is a lot worse stuff that could be happening to me.
However,all these negative feelings are channeling into a positive energy. It makes me want to do more in my community and focus more on doing me the right way. Making sure I'm happy and finding the bright side to ever shadow casted over me.
What type of legacy are you working toward achieving?
What type of legacy am I working towards achieving, I not. I'm not going to stress myself out at eighteen. If i leave a legacy, i want to have done it unconsciously. Whatever i decide to do with my life, or the people i met, and even the experiences I share, those will plan out there own legacy.
Each person will have a memory of me, good or bad , faint or strong. Every person i come in contact with will share a piece of my legacy. I will be known to many different people for many different things. If my story isn't a best seller, or made a box office movie, I'm okay with that. Knowing i lived my life the way i wanted to is enough for me. So i guess the legacy i want to leave is simple. When you think of Trisha Robins, you'll think , that girl was happy.
