Dr. Randy Pausch has passed away this morning on July 25, 2008. He will be GREATLY missed but his words and teachings will live on FOREVER!

This is a video that everyone should see. For those of you who aren't familiar with who Dr. Randy Pausch is, the short story goes like this:

He is a happily married man with three very young children. He spent years working for Disney as an Imagineer who helped them develop some of their theme park attractions. He then went on to teach at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania where he still is to this day.

Abruptly, his life took a turn for the worse when he got cancer and fought it off after years of treatment. The cancer has since returned and has near-totally corupted several vital organs leaving him with mere months to live.

This video is his shortened speech on how not even death can bring this man down and how the dreams he sought to come true can inspire us all.

This video has changed my life and I will NEVER forget it. Will it do the same for you?

Please pass this video on to anyone you feel takes life for granted or just pass it to someone who loves to live.

    God bless you Randy. You're an inspiration to everyone. You're family & friends -- and all of us who share your story via the internet -- are blessed to have known you.

    I am a nursing instructor, and use your Childhood Dreams lecture in the classroom. Through that lecture, you have touched many more people than you can ever imagine.

  • Clear message in ...

    Clear message in this: Life is a gift, you get it only once. Use it wisely and do what you dream and long for and don't waste it on useless things. The end comes faster than you realize...

    PPL like him stand out above all other because they understand the true meaning of life. Not many ppl do... But then, 99% will only realize what life really is, when they get into a situation where THEY need to cling onto it...

    Thats how ignorant the worlds population has become...
