勿忘初衷 inspired by Randy Pausch

最後一堂課：實現兒時的夢想

今天參加Toastmasters 時，再度聽到 Randy Pausch 這個名字，讓我想到我ㄧ值想寫卻沒動筆的一篇文章。

“We don’t beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully"

「只靠著多活幾天是無法打敗死神的。擊敗死神的方法是活的更好，活的更有意義！」

Randy Pauch (October 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) ，當知道自己的時日無多時，你會怎麼面對剩下的生活？ Randy 在Carnegie Mellon University 的一場講座裡告訴大家，如何過一個有無悔的人生。

『勿忘初衷』，這是我聽了演講後浮現的四個字。他在演講中曾提到，當你在追求某件事時，往往有一道牆阻擋你，而事實上這道牆只是在考驗你，到底在你的內心中到底有多渴望去完成所追求的事。藉由這個演講，不只講給在場的人聽，其實Randy的子女才是這堂課的主角。借這個機會Randy給自己的子女上了身教的一課。

雖然從事的事資訊電腦的教學，可是所指導的多媒體課程，卻不忘同時結合人本與藝術。以引導的方式讓科技有了生命力。校方最後紀念Randy 的方式，是在該校的資訊學院與藝術學院間建了一座以他為名的橋。

在一個多小時的演講中，Randy 以詼諧的口吻敘述了他兒時的夢想與他如何實現了這些夢想，全場笑聲不斷。對一個癌症病患來說，你不會覺得那是強顏歡笑，因為在他的一生自始自終都是以樂觀的態度來面對他的人生。

當我第一次看到這段影片時，一位摯友剛好不幸發生車禍癱瘓在床，面對這麼有生命力的演講，令我感觸更深。

以下連結是演講的實況，完整的演講也可以在youtube 上面找的到。演講全程的中文翻譯書 書局也都有鋪貨。

影片中文版翻譯來自於魔戒一書的譯者 『朱學恆』--(另一位宅男界的怪咖)

很感謝他把這樣的Randy Pausch 介紹給大家 。
