Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture: Achieving Your Chilhood Dreams!

It's 2.45am. And I had just finished watching this. Nevermind that I have to reach school later early in the morning, I just couldn't stop watching this. Thoroughly moved! Thoroughly inspired!

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Watched by over 10 million viewers, this video of Randy, who was dying of pancreatic cancer, contains tremendous inspiration and wisdom. It was the last lecture of a dying man. Be inspired by his life and the strength by which he lived it. Watch it!

If you are a school leader, teacher or student, there are lessons that could be learnt from Randy. He talked about life's brick wall, head fakes, helping others achieve their dreams, A.L.I.C.E. and the most important things in life.
