The Last Lecture

If you knew you were going to die very soon, and could give one last lecture, what would it be about? How would your attitude be, what really matters in life, and how do you want others to live life? A CMU professor and Disney Imangineer, that is what Randy Pausch recently did recently before he died yesterday on July 25th, 47 years old of panceatic cancer. His last lesson was titled "Last Lecture: Really Acheving Your Childhood Dreams". There are some very good life lessons, new ways to look a brick walls and how to properly use criticism. The video is a bit over an hour long, filled with some suprises and a very touching moment near the end. I hope and pray he put his faith and trust in Jesus before he died, as no amount of human praise or wisdom could ever save someone.
