Dying 47-Year-Old Professor Gives Exuberant ‘Last Lecture’

WATCH THIS.

I stayed up the whole night to watch the last lecture of Randy Pausch click here.

You can read about him in BusinessWeek.

He is an amazing speaker, and you wouldn't know it, but he is dying of cancer in about 4 months from now? The irony is that he is so close to death yet more alive than people like you or I. It's amazing how much we take for granted.

He is a Professor at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Watching him speak there were moments I forgot he even had cancer. He speaks with the enthusiasm of a teenager, with a dry self-deprecating and witty humour. He talks about how to reach for your dreams- childhood dreams, enabling the dreams of others, and how to live your life.

You can listen to a preacher, and not get the same inspiration. And whereas you may suspect the intentions of a preacher for wanting your conversion, this man does not have any agenda other than to impart words of wisdom. What does he have to lose? Everything, and nothing.

I know everyone's seen it! Still think it's damn funny and embarrassing. WHY did a respectable government body do this to themselves... It's so painful to watch. Ouch. I SO feel for them. Ah.. I think it's a bit of a stretch to try and relate. The Michael Yap guy is the best right?

I'm sorry for my emo lashes. Have to stop being so sensitive and emotional, it's killing me and I'm hurting the ones I love most.
