Randy Pausch Lecture Video

[ShaniL]

He is so amazing, I love listening to his lectures. Here is a link to his lecture on time management.

It was the one that he thought he would be remembered for before the Last Lecture became so wide spread. He had it taped so that his wife and kids would be able to have it after he was gone. It isn't as deep and touching as the Last Lecture, but it is really good. I learned a lot from it, and he's just as funny in this one as the other one.

It is just hitting the news wires that Randy Pausch passed away earlier this morning.

The world was a good place with Randy Pausch in it. He gave a gift to society, at a great personal cost, that many are only just beginning to appreciate. But his "last lecture" and the works that followed it define a legacy that will be known for a very very long time. I hope that everyone touched by his message will help keep it alive.

If you have ever wasted 90 minutes watching junk TV, you should invest 90 minutes on Randy's last Lecture. I did a couple weeks back and it has really made me reflect on my life.

I saw a special on Randy Pausch on I believe Dateline a while back and this guy should be an inspiration to all people. His view of life is so positive. I would have loved to take his class. Rest in peace Randy Pausch, you are an inspiration to many and have made people think.

I've thought about the power of humility. Dr. Pausch is a beautiful example of someone who can impact those around him, large audiences, and future audiences, reaching into, perhaps, tapping into our hidden potential with his views, his wisdom, his knowledge, and his humility. I'm not sure arrogance and bravado have that same type of power when inspiring others. It is something I have thought about.

Here is a link to his personal page at the CMU website. Most of his videos and lecture resources are posted here too.

Dr. Pausch gifted us with lessons that can absolutely help us as educators and people. I absolutely believe that one of the best things we can do to honor his legacy is to continue to help enable the dreams of our students and peers.

ABC news has just said that they will be re-airing their ABC Primetime special on Randy Pausch tomorrow evening at 10:00. I might not normally highlight yet another evening news piece, but this one is exceptional. If you have not seen it, I really encourage you to watch and learn more about the person behind the uniquely powerful message in The Last Lecture.

One of the best slides:

Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things.

My favorite follow on to this - Some brick walls are made of flesh.

If you haven't watched this yet, do. If you have, show it to someone else.

I orginally watched this 6 months ago and was blown away by this amazing man. When I heard of his death, I rewatched it. I laughed and cried. He said it all in such a positive and unique way. The world will be a sadder place without him but on the other hand he made a huge impact on the world in the short time he was here. My thoughts and prayers to his wife, 2 sons, and daughter
