Randy Pausch

I have been following his life closely since I saw him several months ago on Oprah. The excerpt of his last lecture on Oprah's show was fantastic, so I decided to see the full lecture on YouTube, and it has totally changed my life. It's quite long, it takes more than an hour, but it is so worth it. Posting it here for your reference.



Shortly thereafter, they decided to publish the book version of the lecture, and I also have that one and have since given it out to a few friends. Seriously, I recommend that you watch the lecture and get the book, it's a fantastic book, and something that you can share with your children.



Randy Pausch has succumbed to pancreatic cancer on the morning of July 25 and I am so, so saddened by this news. I have followed his life closely ever since I saw him on Oprah, and have been one of those who have constantly prayed for him. Randy Pausch's last lecture will stay with me forever. God bless you, Randy.
