Here's a great talk by Randy Pausch, a CMU professor, on how he's achieved his childhood dreams. Randy did a neat project at UVA in the early '90s called VR on $5 a day, where he built a cheap but functional VR system for under $5000 ($5 a day for a 3 year lifetime). He's a great speaker and I heard him give a talk on the project when I was an undergrad. It made me apply to UVA for grad school, and although I was accepted they didn't offer me funding so I went somewhere that did.

Here's some more information on Randy. I found the talk from Kirby Urner.
