Randy Pausch

On the 26th July 2008, I read an article reporting the death of Professor Randy Pausch of Carnegie Mellon, author of the famous incarnation of said institution's "Last Lecture" series. Professor Pausch (personal website here) passed away from pancreatic cancer 12 months after the doctor's gave him "3-6 months of good health". His inspiring lecture, entitled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" can be viewed here:



I was so uplifted by the dignity and positivity that he showed in the face of such adversity that I really have begun to think about what my childhood dreams were and how I can achieve them. Expect another post detailing the results of this later.

Another of his lectures that is worth watching, "Time Management", is viewable here:



Thanks for the advice Professor, I'm sure your wife and kids are proud of all the good that came of those last few lectures.

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in trading links
or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
My website addresses a lot of the same topics as
yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you're interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
