Dying Professor Gives Final Lesson

games-of-life.jpgI’ve reached my threshold of impending doom news for the day. Instead, I’d like to focus on what’s important: life, now. WWIII is on the horizon, the ice caps are melting and Britney Spears has loss custody of her children and somewhere along the lines we forget that before the planet meets its end, we will.

No matter how many articles your read or blogs your write, the end is always coming. For some it’s 40 years from now, for others its 4 months. No one wins. And as we hear a thousand times, we should make every day count.

Today, I’m working outside.

Watch the video below, this isn’t a you tube 2 minute tribute — so grab a glass of wine (or bottle) and…learn.

From ABC News Article:

Professor’s full speech

Randy Pausch, a 46-year-old computer-science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, has terminal cancer and expects to live for just a few more months.

This week, he said goodbye to his students and the Pittsburgh college with one last lecture called “How to Live Your Childhood Dreams,” on his life’s journey and the lessons he’s learned.

The Wall Street Journal called it “the lecture of a lifetime” and those who have seen it have more than agreed.
