Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture
April 22, 2008 — thegrahambaileyblogRandy Pausch’s last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University has become a hit on YouTube, watched thousands of times the world over.
It’s the literal last lecture of the Universities’ lecturer, as he is dying of pancreatic cancer - I defy anyone not to be touched by this.
Be warned though, the video is 78 minutes long, so you may want to set aside some time first.

How inspiring Randy Pausch is! If you liked “The Last Lecture”, another fantastic memoir I just read and highly recommend is “My Stroke of Insight” by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Her TEDTalk video (ted.com) has been seen as many times as The Last Lecture I think, and Oprah did 4 shows on her book, so there are a lot of similarities. In My Stroke of Insight, there’s a happy ending though. It’s an incredible story! I hear they’re making it into a movie.
