Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
I first heard about Randy Pausch in Our Daily Bread (click here). Randy was a computer science prof who had liver cancer and had months left to live. He gave a final lecture at his University. He knew that death was inevitable - so he chose to have fun every single day. My boss shared Randy's Last Lecture with us at work, and I thank him for that. :)
I expected Randy to be old and well, dying. However, this man was exuberant! You will totally forget that he's diagnosed with cancer when you watch him.
Here's the last lecture which I took from Youtube:
It's an hour-long, but it's worth the time.
He has wonderful quotes in this lecture, and he keeps the lecture humorous.
My fav quote: The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
