As I sit here after watching the video, I am crying. This man that I did not know had such a profound affect on me in just 10 minutes! What a loss to this world. I took notes to pass on but I plan on buying his book TODAY.

What a special man! The world needs more men/educators like Randy. His story is powerful and inspiring. I can't imagine how his wife can fill the void he's left!

When I have a bad day and have the time I watch the original Last Lecture by dr Pausch (it's 1h 17min). Always cheers me up and puts me back on track.

"The brick walls that are in our way are there for a reason: Brick walls are there to prove how badly we want things." Dr. Randy Pausch 2008.

Wow!! Just when I am convinced this life is a living hell, someone facing the finality of his life spews truth so needed all over my place in this life and wakens me to the reality that life can and is found in the perceptions we each hold onto.

Thank you for posting this video. I thas helped me...

I learned a lot about myself watching this video. I don't have control over anything in this lifetime, except myself. I learned how to apoligize gracefully. I also learned to live life to its fullest you never know when you might not be there to live it anymore.

watching this video was the most moving video I have ever seen. For someone who knew he was dying to be able to give so much back is unbelievable and awesome. I wanted motivation and I certainly got it from this video.

I just read his book & also saw this when he was on Oprah. What an incredible story of surviving...and living on in memories. He truly figured out what is most important in life, which is a gift not all of us learn soon enough. So hopefully we will take the time in our lives to live as he did and to benefit from what he learned

Oh My, This is something everyone should read and try to apply to their individual lives. Thanks so much for putting it on here so we could read it and give us some inspiration to try to live better.
