Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) "The Last Lecture"

[Tupi Guy]

"Randy Pausch was a computer science professor at the Carnegie Mellon University who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2006. He was 47 when he passed away yesterday. He prepared a speech/presentation, which is now famously known as “The Last Lecture“, that he had intended as a guidance through life for his kids.

I find this “lecture” of his very valuable and inspiring and I truly believe, no matter who you are, where you are, whatever situation you’re in, Randy’s talk will somehow make a difference in your life." Quote from friend's blog

Do make some time to see if u haven see it before. It's worth your time.

I am sure he had lived to his "fullest", RIP. Randy.

Should also check out his Time Management lecture available here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5784740380335567758

Lots more practical advice about why it's important to manage your time. Like why it's good to have 2 or 3 monitors , keeping scheduling software, and so on.
