Lessons of Life

Randy Pausch, distinguished scholar, professor and innovator of "virtual reality" technology recently learned that he has life-threatening pancreatic cancer, with likely 3-6 months to live. He is just 47 and has a wife and three very young children. Instead of feeling sorry for himself and sinking into self-pity, as many of us would, he is teaching us all how to live like every moment matters. Watch his "Last Lecture" and hear his powerfully moving story:



Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture"

Randy, as he mentions in his last lecture, did not do it for us, or to be courageous, or even for himself. Rather he did it (the last lecture) for his children, so they would better know and remember him and understand what he had learned in life and found to be meaningful and important.

The "Last Lecture" video has been out for a while, but there was a follow up story that appeared on ABC last night- here is a link:
