Title: Inspiring!!! The last lecture

"Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals. For more, visit www.cmu.edu/randyslecture.

"Journeys" are special University Lectures in which Carnegie Mellon faculty members share their reflections on their journeys -- the everyday actions, decisions, challenges and joys that make a life"

with warm regards,
Tony

Caught this awhile ago. Watched the show tonight. My opinion has not changed..what a man!
When one speaks of strength of character....they are thinking of Randy Pausch-his window on life, as he watches his own slip away is awe-inspiring.......
