Has anyone seen this video:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=362421849901825950 Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.
In total it is over an hour long. I watched it and just flew by. He certainly makes some good points and has great humour to boot considering he only has a couple more months to live.
