Okay, I'm not posting to tell people about the story. I think most people have probably heard about this on the news already. However, I decided to go online and look for the actual lecture footage because I had some free time.

If you have 1 hour and 15 minutes to spare, I highly recommend watching Randy Pausch's last lecture. I don't normally buy into this stuff, but it was actually really great to watch, not because the guy died of cancer, but because he had a lot of important career advice and life advice to offer. When a wise man shares his wisdom with you, it's a good idea to listen.

i heard the about this on NPR yesterday thanks for reminding me to watch it!!!

 

That was an amazing lecture. He was especially right about the salesman part; he's very good at it, and I was sold on listening to what he had to say five minutes in.

 

Totally awesome! I've heard it a few times, GREAT!

 

I just watched the entire thing.
I hadn't planned to but just couldn't tear myself away from it.
