Dr.Randy Pausch and his Last Lecture

Dr. Randy Pausch, who passed away earlier this year due to terminal cancer, delivered one of the best speeches of all times.

Many professors have been asked the hypothetical question "if it was your last chance to impart knowledge, what would you deliver?" In the case of Professor Pausch, this question was not hypothetical. Though it was a speech designed to pass on knowledge to his children, it is very inspirational to all of us.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo is the link to watch the lecture on youtube. If the link does not work, go onto youtube.com and search for randy pausch.

On a side note, there is also a novel about Randy, named for those interested. And if you haven't read , I would totally recommend it. It's a must read in my opinion. It discusses much of the same topics as Randy, and it is one of my all time favourites.
