Randy Pausch who had cancer that was eroding at his pancreas. On September 18, 2007 this computer science professor, in front of an audience of over 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University delivered a lecture called. “Really achieving your childhood dreams.” Randy shared with the audience about his cancer and that he only had months to live. His lecture was energetic, cheerful, and darkly funny. He was lecturing like the world was his.
This lecture video that I recommend you watch is an inspiration to the book that he wrote based on the same principles.
Sadly, Randy lost his battle to pancreatic cancer on July 25th, 2008, but his legacy will continue to inspire us all, for generations to come.
