Are You A Tigger Or An Eeyore?

Kathleen Meacham, of Atlanta, Ga., left, and Will Emmer, of Albuquerque, NM., sit surrounded by seats with stuffed Tiggers before a memorial on the Carnegie Mellon University campus in Pittsburgh for professor Randy Pausch on Monday. Pausch whose "last lecture" became an Internet sensation has been remembered for urging people to do more than they thought they could and to have fun doing it. He died of cancer in July, 10 months after giving the lecture that touched millions of people worldwide. During his last lecture, Pausch said, "You just have to decide if you're a Tigger or an Eeyore. I think I'm clear where I stand on the great Tigger/ Eeyore debate. Never lose the childlike wonder. It's just too important. It's what drives us."

Question: Are you a Tigger or an Eeyore?
