The Last Lecture: Professor Randy Pausch

A riveting complete video of the now famous Last Lecture from Professor Randy Pausch from Carnegie Mellon.



From the caption with the video:

Almost all of us have childhood dreams: for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don't achieve theirs, and I think that's a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I've actually achieved most of them. More importantly, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU's Entertainment Technology Center (etc.cmu.edu), of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams. This talk will discuss how I achieved my childhood dreams (being in zero gravity, designing theme park rides for Disney, and a few others), and will contain realistic advice on how *you* can live your life so that you can make your childhood dreams come true, too.

107 minutes in length, so be ready to multitask as you watch/listen. He authored The Last Lecture as well. His Daily Update page gives details of his continued fight against pancreatic cancer.
