Randy Pausch: The Last Lecture

It’s almost 1am; I just got done watching Randy Paush’s The Last Lecture. Having been diagnosed with brain cancer, this professor of computer science at Garnegie Mellon University gave a talk about life to a group of 500 attendees at the University. The lessons learned can be applied to people of all ages and walks of life.

Randy has some great advice in this piece. You can tell he is incredibly intelligent. And when you combine that kind of intelligence with an ability to speak, educate and socialize, you can truly change the world. I think with this lecture, he has done just that.

Randy’s lecture has generated national attention online (the YouTube video has over 2 million 600 thousand hits) and the print version of this lecture continues to be a best-seller.

No question that Randy has changed the world. Think that the number of views is now 20 million. If you have seen it a wonderful one hour special was done by Diane Sawyer on ABC. (the link is on Randy’s home page...google ‘randy pausch’).

I can tell you that he has changed my perception of life.

Too bad he passed away. I remember playing free piano sheet music while watching his last lecture. Great video on motivation. I learned how to play piano better because of him.
