Professor given a few months to live, gives final lecuture.
« on: March 15, 2008, 09:31:02 AM »
Some of you may have already seen this, but  A professor named Randy Pausch  was given a few months to live. His final lecture to his students was recorded, and his words to live by are worth watching. It's not a depressing lecture, but actually an uplifting talk about how to make the most of  time we all have. The full lecture can be found here:

A much shorter version can be found here as he appeared on Oprah:

I HIGHLY recommend watching the full version. The Oprah version really does not do it, or him, justice.

Thanks for posting that.  Pretty darn funny! It is amazing that for someone who has a big reason to be upset or sad (his diagnosis) he still seems so happy and full of life.

According to Wikipedia the professor is still alive.
