The Last Lecture

Randy Pausch, professor at Carnegie Mellon, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He gave his "Last Lecture," and it was nothing short of symbolic of the life he's led/contributions he's made. In one word, "Amazing."   No doubt, despite a very discouraging diagnosis, he will live on in the work he has done, lives he has touched and in the family he has built. 

 

His lecture made national/international news.

I've posted  a reprise he did on "Oprah" of the lecture as well as  the full version of his lecture. The full version is long, but worth watching.
