His Last Lecture

What would you lecture about when you are sure to die within a few weeks/months? An amazing person, that I came to know few months ago, gave his last lecture on "How to Achieve Your Childhood Dream". He is Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University who was fighting pancreatic cancer for the past two years, passed away yesterday.

You have to watch this video to know how amazing, focused and accepting he was. A truely great person, but a great loss to all of us. Even though I don't know him personally, I really feel sad that he is no more.



You can find his full last lecture here.

Thanks to Prabu for reminding me about him today.
