Brick Walls.
November 19, 2008
“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.”
~Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
Thinking a lot about this lately. Walls. How hard do I want to climb/push/chisel my way through? Why do they come, and when do they go down? Profound thought from Randy Pausch. Can’t say I have read the book, but now I am going to. Found this from my sister-in-law and had to post it. Gives me hope that brick walls only come down to the determined, faithful, persistent and passionate. What is on the other side is worth the waiting.

I think I’ll join you in the reading. Lunch was fun today, let’s do it again sometime…soon.
I bought a couple of your prints for my baby’s room (he’s 2 now – goes too fast) and I just have to say that I LOVE your stuff. You are so talented and I wish I could buy one of each!!!
It is a great, great, book. Definitely read it.
so true…i got chills all over.
gosh, i hope so. we’re having to chisel through a lot right now.
Your artwork is so lovely!
I haven’t read Randy Pausch’s book, but I’ve seen his lecture on youtube. I love how he mentions to let children paint their dreams on the walls of their room. Such a beautiful idea. Walls not to stop us, but to cover with our desires and dreams.
