The Last Lecture

“If you were to give one last lecture before you die, what would it be?”

I am out of words for introducing this precious video. Do take 5 minutes to watch the video and listen to the touching words from Randy Pausch, Professor of Computer Science, Carnegie-Mellon University and then think of what you would do if you were in his shoes!

UPDATE A lot of the people were asking me if there is a full length version of this video and although the video has been going around the web for some days now, I hadn’t found it. Fortunately, I was able to find the full lecture video on Google just now and have also included it below.

Full length lecture below:

Kind of a strange coincidence, using Stumble upon to randomly surf, to come across this poor guy and his cancer right after having hit this other article which speaks about potential treatment that could help reduce his type of cancer:

it IS strange!! could it be possible to treat it anyway? Like the article suggests? As strange as I may sound to many, I always wonder if so many of us who saw this video prayed together, would our voices reach God? or whoever that supernatural power is?

We always hear of miracles and such, and I wonder if these sort of things calculated coincidences!?!?! I don’t know but I would definitely want him to read this article….

thanks for stopping to comment and providing the link Andre!

Great lecture! I love lectures like these. It goes with some of my favorites like “Wear Sun Screen” and the “Steve Jobs MIT” lectures. I’d love to get a transcript of this to add to my collection of text.
