The Last Lecture

A month or so ago, my wife's father called to tell us to watch the video of "The Last Lecture." The Last Lecture is a presentation given by Randy Pausch. He is a 47 year old college professor at Carnegie Mellon in Pennsylvania. He is also dying of pancreatic cancer. Randy's presentation is very thought provoking.

Randy just recently released his new book titled, "The Last Lecture."

I encourage you to watch his lecture and think about your life. We all get down from time to time because of problems or challenges. When we step back to see the big picture, we usually realize how small our problems are. Imagine being diagnosed with a terminal illness. What would you do? Would your priorities change?

In Randy's presentation, see how he has chosen to handle his terminal illness. I have included Randy's Last Lecture for you below. If you're receiving this blog post via email, you may have to visit the blog to watch the video. Here it is:
