A Professor's Life Lessons
EDIT: I'm rewriting this.
This is one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon professor, was invited to give a lecture which used to be labeled the last lecture. As irony may have it...this really was going to be Randy's last lecture because at the time at the age of 47, he was given a few months to live due to pancreatic cancer.
You might think this as a very down and morose lecture, but instead, you say a man full of life. He pursued his dreams and achieved them. His lecture is inspirational and cheerful in the face of death.
He died last week, survived by his wife and 3 young daughters.
Here is his lecture in it's entirety and worth every minute of it.
Full Version from below (104 minutes)
