This is actually from a news article on the memorial service honoring the life of Randy Pausch, "the last lecture professor"...his lecture can be viewed at www.cmu.edu/randyslecture , although I have ONLY viewed parts and have taken from it what I myself deemed interesting to me and my affection for Eeyore.
"In the lecture, which Pausch said was actually for his three young children,he urged the audience to"Never lose the childlike wonder. It's just too important. It is what drives us." He said it's true lesson was not "how to reach your dreams". It's about how to live your life." Live right now, he said , and karma would take care of the rest.
Stuffed Tiggers were placed on each chair as keepsakes.
"You just have to decide if you are a Tigger or an Eeyore. Pausch saw himself:energetic and optimistic, as opposed to the mopey Eeyore, even when faced with certain death."
