下課了嗎?

Randy Pausch (1960-2008)


港生是從思哲兄的Twitter上看到 Professor Randy Pausch病逝的消息,趕緊從書籤中找出他的網頁的連結,一看証實了消息,黯然了一刻,接著便豁然開朗了,因為他雖然去世了,但他的精神、他的教導卻長存:



He has died but he will live forever.


所以上面的相港生不用黑白照,用了他和家人的一幅彩色合照。



想不到素來後知後覺的本地電視新聞也有報道,不過整篇報道也沒有提到他演講中提了幾次的那道牆:



 
Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want something badly enough. They are there to keep out the other people.
港生相信Mrs Pausch一定能好好教育年紀尚幼的三個小孩,希望他們會在床頭放一本爸爸為他們寫的書,緊記爸爸為他們說的最後一課,像爸爸一樣堅強,努力完成自己的夢想。

Leona 說...

本地電視台終於報道了嗎?
唉,怎不早些做,好讓香港多些觀眾向Prof. Pausch致敬...

許港生 說...

是啊...
不過,後知後覺總好過不知不覺...至少我也有朋友因而特別找了他的演講來看.:)
