| THE LAST LECTURE - Randy Pausch - 608 sec A simply inspiring story of an
incredible man.
Randy Pausch set the tone at his farewell lecture at Carnegie Mellon University.
"If I don't seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you," said Dr. Pausch.
It is probably the last public speech Dr. Pausch will give anywhere. The 46-year-old computer science professor and father of three preschoolers has incurable pancreatic cancer. Doctors have given him months to live.
Yet, standing at the podium in McConomy Auditorium, Randy Pausch did not focus on impending death. Instead, he celebrated the chance he had been given to live the life he always had dreamed of. Tags: last lecture death randy pausch motivation cancer inspirational goals life nik d'angelo  |
