Back in a previous life I was a Research Fellow in User Interface Design at Sussex University.
At the time I remember being totally in awe of, and humbled by, the work of Randy Pausch on Virtual Reality on 5 dollars a day amongst other things and home much energy and enthusiasm that team had.

But he recently gave a lecture on “How to achieve your childhood dreams” which should be an inspiration to all. Make sure you watch out for the “mind fake” at the end.
