Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture. In ten days, one year will have passed since Randy left our earthly world for his next journey, perhaps a heavenly world.
We will probably start to see news media marking this anniversary. In advance of this, I’d like to share his original You Tube Last Lecture.
Randy Pausch’s story inspired me, and I’m an already inspired kind of guy. And not only me, but millions of others, to recapture some excitement, and commitment, to our childhood dreams.
What did it for me was his attitude towards awful news – “You have three to six months to live”.
Whether you are unfamiliar with his story, or know it well, I challenge you to view The Last Lecture this weekend.
We can all be thankful he gave such an inspiring Last Lecture, although I’m sorry he had to.
Living with regret must be a painful exit from this world. Do something, now, while you still can. Follow a childhood dream to completion. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

I was told about, and read, Randy’s book in early 2008. So, I was able to follow his blog updates for a bit. He was even committed to these updates until his last day. Randy is truly an inspiration!
