Randy Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture’

Posted by Mark Winegar on August 1, 2008




Time marches on without giving us a second thought.

Charles Osgood gives his best at describing the “life of Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch, who became famous after his “Last Lecture” appeared on YouTube and inspired millions around the world.” Watch a few minutes of an inspired life.

This was a man who loved life. He shared his life and love of learning through his teaching and speeches. His boyish candor and sense of humor touched all of us lucky enough to be in his audience. My only exposure to Dr. Pausch is through the World Wide Web. His TED talk inspired me to learn more about him. Although we never met he did touch my life. That’s the power of a good man and the web.

Listen to the speech that is inspiring people everywhere.

If you’re not psyched up now you must not have been listening.
