What are you?

Tigger or Eeyore?
By Trevor Burk

Dr. Randy Pausch

Pausch is a professor of Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction,
and Design at Carnegie Mellon University.
He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Even though he had cancer he lived his life as if there was nothing wrong.
He gave a very powerful lecture to his students. His last lecture talked
about life and what he thought would make you live a fulfilling life.
During this he asked if you are a Tigger or an Eeyore.
His last speech to me felt like it was a guide to live a healthy and better
life.

What's the difference?

A person who is a Tigger is one who is very optimistic, energetic, happy,
funny, and overall a very positive person

A person who is a Eeyore is one who is very gloomy, sad, always thinks
negative, and thinks everything bad is going to happen

Why I think theyre

important
Friendly Obstacles in life can be accomplished easily with friends. Being friendly
not only makes you a more better citizen and a liked person. People who are
friendly will always be liked. It helps you later in life when your in need and friends
are there to help you.
People grow bonds with each other. These bonds not only shape how you live or
what you do they also show you great or bad things in life. Compassion will always
create a friendly or loving bond. Compassion is something that everyone values but
is not always used.
People are always grateful to those who are understanding. It not only makes you a
better person but boosts people opinion about you. It makes them think positive
about you. People will like you more if your understanding of there life style and
choices.
