One of my hero’s, Randy Pausch, passed today. His anecdote about brick walls is brilliant:

“. . . brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.”

A recent post in New York Times includes a brief bio about Randy. The USA Today has an obituary.

Thanks to Jaysen for alerting me and commenting on an earlier entry on my site.
