SURVIVORS OF SOCIOPATHS Community Group
A group where we support one another and share our experiences with each other about narcissistic relationships. a place to heal if you have been "touched" by a sociopath. there is hope. share your experience strength and hope here with others who have been where you are. together we help each other heal...
Pausch delivered his "Last Lecture", titled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams", at CMU on September 18, 2007.
The talk was modeled after an ongoing series of lectures where top academics are asked to think deeply about what matters to them, and then give a hypothetical "final talk", with a topic such as "WHAT WISDOM WOULD YOU TRY TO IMPART TO THE WORLD IF YOU KNEW IT WAS YOU LAST CHANCE?"
Before speaking, Pausch received a long standing ovation from a large crowd of over 400 colleagues and students. When he motioned them to sit down, saying, "Make me earn it", someone in the audience shouted back, "You did!"
During the lecture, Pausch offered inspirational life lessons, and performed push-ups on stage. He also commented on the irony that the "Last Lecture" series had recently been renamed as "Journeys", saying, "I thought, damn, I finally nailed the venue and they renamed it."
After Pausch finished his lecture, Steve Seabolt, on behalf of Electronic Arts—which is now collaborating with CMU in the development of Alice, pledged to honor Pausch by creating a memorial scholarship for women in computer science, in recognition of Pausch's support and mentoring of women in CS and engineering.

Our attitude is imperative in our healing.... in our lives! Every day, I keep working on my attitude. Sometimes it's not good.... When my NH pulls his mind games and bullshit, it's really hard to pick myself up and move forward. But I refuse to let him keep me down anymore.
When we change our attitude for the better, our lives become better. It is true, but it is not easy. I'm so glad I have all of you great people here to lean on when I have a bad day. Thanks Angela for posting this!
Here's cheers to experience!
Thanks Angel xo
