I found this over on one of my favorite blog’s SkyWindows. It is a brief lecture given by Dr. Randy Pausch who is dying of pancreatic cancer (he was diagnosed in Sept of 2006) …. the disease which killed my mother 10 years ago. Aside from that fact causing his situation to hit me a little close to home, this lecture touched me in many other ways as well and by the end I had tears streaming down my face.
He is leaving behind his wife and his three children and is determined to enjoy every day he is graced with until the end. He is uplifting and funny and inspirational.
Trust me … Just watch it.
according to Dr. Paush’s website …..
you can watch the full lecture online, here. A closed captioned version is available here (thanks to Hong Guo), and a version with subtitles is here (thanks to Friederike Brand)
there will be a book based on this lecture … www.TheLastLecture.com
also apparently is a long time Trek fan and has one line in the newest Star Trek movie to be released in 2009 ….
Blessings
