Recently I was introduced (figuratively) to Randy Pausch- an inspirational professor from Carnegie Mellon University. Sadly, Randy died of pancreatic cancer a few days ago, but his story will live on in lore forever. There are people in this world who truly move a soul, and Mr. Pausch is one of those people. Even in the brief experience I've had with his message, I can say definitively that it's changed my life.
He gave a "Last Lecture" at Carnegie Mellon last autumn, and immediately became famous for the life message he impressed upon his audience. Soon after the lecture, his story became an internet phenomenon; inspiring millions of people with his courage, integrity, humor, and grace.
I challenge anyone to view this "Lecture" and not be moved to tears multiple times during its duration. Due to my personal history, I may be a fair bit more impressionable in situations like this, but I still think it's a story that will move anyone. From beginning to (especially) end it is an immensely powerful experience.
It's a fairly long video (1hour 16minutes), but please watch the entire thing- I guarantee you'll be glad you did.
Lead your life the right way, and Karma will take over- the dreams will come to you
--Randy Pausch
There's also a book by the same name.
Try this for comfort and relief.
Peace & Good Health
