Randy Pausch’s Message Was A Timeless Message To Follow Our Childhood Dreams

We have eyes to see, but no lens to focus. Too busy.

Too soon, too many come to find death calling.

Randy Pausch gained world exposure not because he was smart, but because he was dying and faced death with a contagious, indomitable courage – to leave a trail for his children and provide for his Family.

Back cover…

It was convincing to read or listen to Randy Pausch’s message. His imminent death added credibility and inspiration. I still cry when I see the picture on the back cover of his book.

Any chance at all you could find the will to go for it? You know, to live before you die.
