On September 18, 2007 Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch gave what he expected to be his last lecture. You see, he’s dying of pancreatic cancer. He spoke to a packed auditorium on ‘Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams’. You can read more of the lecture at www.cmu.edu/randyslecture.
Since he gave this lecture the video of it has gone viral. Just today he talked about it again. He has lived longer than he expected when he gave that lecture last September. He says he has enjoyed the extra time he’s been granted. He’s spent more memorable time with his family and has testified before Congress requesting more funding for finding a cure for this deadly form of cancer.
