How To Achieve Your Childhood Dreams

This is an AMAZING lecture from an amazing man. It is unbelievable how strong and optimistic Randy Pausch is in this video, this man is dying and yet he is so upbeat and full of positive energy. Next time I think my life is not fair, I am going to re-watch this video.

EDIT: and this one is great too: Time Management by the same guy.

Slow Leadership

Success as a path - not a destination. Inspiring read.

It's a shame that some people will never get over the fact that doing anything for success is bullshit - doing something that makes you happy is important; success may be a nice bonus if you get real good at doing whatever you enjoy. Which is not so unlikely, because most people out there don't enjoy what they do for living. It's easy to progress doing something fun. If success does not come in the end, at least you will have spent your life doing things you enjoyed. Work to live - don't live to work!

Krtecek fotografem

This is the stuff I grew up on - Krtecek. I don't remember this episode from back then, but there are over 50 episodes in this series. This one is about photography:



Film-making meets education. Zdenek Miler, successful Czech illustrator - the creator of Krtecek, was asked by the Czechoslovak Ministry of Education in 1950s to make a film explaining how linen was made. He produced How The Mole Got His Trousers (Jak krtek ke kalhotkám přišel) in 1956, which became an instant success internationally. Other episodes followed.

My mom grew up with Krtek, I grew up with Krtek and my kids one day will grow up with krtek. Fantastic.
