This video is a little long. 1 hours 44 minutes. The front introduction might be a little dry to some.

 

It made me tear. Feel very touched and inspired.

 

If you have the time, I would highly recommend you to watch!

 

I'm only 30 min through, have to rush home now, but thx! Can't wait to finish the rest of the video.

The main show of the video is here. It is shorter. Don't have other lecturers talking.

Randy Pausch, Author

Of 'Last Lecture,' Dies at 47

A WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE NEWS ROUNDUP

July 25, 2008 11:40 a.m.

 

Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist whose "last lecture" about facing terminal cancer became an international sensation and a best-selling book, died Friday. He was 47 years old.

 

University spokeswoman Anne Watzman said Mr. Pausch died early Friday at his home in Virginia.

Randy Pausch discusses reaction to his lecture and becoming an "accidental celebrity."

 

Mr. Pausch was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer in September 2006. His popular last lecture at Carnegie Mellon in September 2007 garnered international attention and was viewed by millions on the Internet.

 

In it, Mr. Pausch celebrated living the life he had always dreamed of instead of concentrating on impending death.

 

The lecture was videotaped and footage began spreading across thousands of Web sites. (The full talk can now be seen at thelastlecture.com.) Soon, he was receiving emails from all over the world.

 

The book "The Last Lecture, " written with The Wall Street Journal's Jeffrey Zaslow, topped best-seller lists after its publication in April.

 

Mr. Zaslow wrote in the Journal in May, "I almost didn't go to Pittsburgh to see him. The plane fare from my home in Detroit was a hefty $850, and my editors said that if I wanted, I could just do a phone interview with him after the talk, asking him how it went. In the end, I sensed that I shouldn't miss seeing his lecture in person, and so I drove the 300 miles to Pittsburgh.

I always check his personal site every now and then as he post always an update at least once a week.... Since 26 June 08 ..i don't see any new update..

 

I just feel that something is not right.

 

sighz..

pretty good.

 

 

1 important thing i learn from this lecture:

 

Doing the right thing is more important than doing thing right.

I subscribe to the same belief, which is why I spend more time going after something more calming these days. :-)
