Sage words from Dr. Randy Pausch


My very good friend Colleen sent me this the other day, and it really gave me a new perspective on life. The above clip is the farewell lecture given by Dr. Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, when he said goodbye to his students. Pausch is dying of pancreatic cancer; he only has months to live. Recently, he retold his last lecture on the Oprah Winfrey show.

Take 10 minutes out of your day and give this one a listen. It sure put things into perspective for me today.

Thanks for sending it, Colleen.
