Have u figured out the second head fake?


For many this might seem a confusing question. Second head what! This question refers to Randy Pausch Last Lecture: How to achieve your Childhood Dreams. 
Professor Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon gave his last lecture in which he spoke of working hard, achieving your own dreams, overcoming obstacles, seizing every moment… and at the end of his speech asked the following:
Did you figure out the head fake? It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life.

Did you figure out the second head fake? The talk’s not for you. It’s for my kids. The 'Head fake' he refers to means to learn something indirectly, when you are not even aware that there is a lesson in the message. 
An example could be wearing a school uniform every day, over and above all looking the same at school, it teaches you the rules of neatness, having pride in yourself and sticking to rules.
We should not plan our life and do the deeds that will hopefully make our dreams come true, we should just live a good life to the fullest! If we do, we will be able to reach our dreams in some or other way… even indirectly!
