s not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. 

If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY,

 the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. 

The dreams will come to you."

                               -Dr. Randy Pausch

I find this quote to be interesting because it is a controversy to many other famous quotes. Many quotes state that nothing is free and that if you want something you need to go and earn it. This

 quote is not the complete opposite but does say that "It's not about how to achieve your dreams." This quote is still saying to work for what you want, but that it's not about what you do to achieve your dream, but instead how you live your life. If you sacrifice everything for your dream yes you may achieve it, but it also might affect your life in the long run. Dr. Pausch is telling us to work for our dreams, but to not sacrifice everything, instead we should make changes to our lives to help achieve our dreams. We will be able to adapt to changes, and since they are not big sudden changes we can adapt and prevent the harmful changes. For example, if a person is halfway done with medical school, but decides he or she wants to become a teacher they should not drop out and start all over. They should complete the course, but pick up classes to become a teacher and make small changes that way she has a plan B if she losses interest in being a teacher. If she drops out and takes teacher classes she can become bankrupt for starting an all new course, and by doing so she sacrifices everything. Small changes will be easier to adaqpt to and give time to correct errors.
