- Dr. Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor who became a Web sensation after sharing his thoughts on life in his "Last Lecture," died at his home at the age of 47. Richard Schlesinger reports.
How wonderful is his message! Randy gave me the best lecture I've heard. I read the book and watched the video and it was quite impressing. Rest in Peace Randy.
Eyes open and tears coming down. RIP. A good man.
Happiness is a choice! And this guy chose to be happy even in his last days... A great man
It's not a choice, it's to do with a chemical balance in your brain, if it was a choice why would depression exist
It hurts more when it's the good ones!..never too late to mourn a great man...best of thoughts to his family and friends.
Thanks sir you are truely great
He was a nice, wise and brave man he decided to be happy in the end of this life, his legacy won't never be forgotten #RipRandyPausch greetings from Ecuador 👋🇪🇨
Really forward thinker, truly inspirational, outstanding person, everything he said is absolutely unique. I wish I knew him! Randy and people like him should rule the world so they could create a healthy and caring place for the rest of us to live in.
He might have lost the battle with death, but in life he's passed with honors! leaves the rest of us to wonder how we'll measure up. Farewell Randy.
a friend gave this link to me,
after watching i felt calm and
peaceful.
knowing that the things is said
would be pass on to more !!
Thanks Dr. Randy
God Bless
A true legend...
Love u Randy...
May lord bless ur holy soul...
He died when I was born.
I feel god take him and just made me to the world.
He was best teacher to have class in memory of Randy pausch
Very sad. We are watching his last lecture, and taking notes in Active Physics. Not sure what it has to do with the class, but its still interesting, and he sure has a bright attitude for someone who's days were numbered. Good work Randy, and rest in peace.
This man was courageous. I hope "Last Lectures" are treasured by his children. How wonderful and selfless of him to do these.
Randy Pausch was a real hero. What a beautiful human being. May others follow his example and find happiness.
This man is so inspirational. I usually don't like reading and always wonder why some people cry reading a certain book .... The Last Lecture made me realize this. It was so touching. And this video is so inspiring but sad in its own way. I wish there were more people like Randy in this world. I always always cry everytime I see him bring that big cake for his wife.
We all love you Randy. Your children will be so proud of you.
that birthday scene always makes me cry... tear would fall down... It's so moving... touching...
Randy showed us not only how to live, but how to die (in a way). I loved the book, what an inspirational man!
This man is MY KINDA' GUY.
He's as cool as it gets, to be honest.
If all of you are in question, THIS is "COOL".
I mean, the man knew of his imminent/impending death, and he was not phased in the least.
Not just THAT, but he was OUT HAVING FUN, during such times.
How much cooler can you GET, really?
I mean he's a cool person in terms of his CHARACTER AND calm.
Wow.
Seriously. WOW.
What a marvelously cool guy.
I am only TOO happy to respect his entire being.
Great book and inspirational
Randy Pausch's courage to live the Truth, to recognize what was real and what was illusion and to help others with positive thinking and positive works is the "GENIUS of SPIRIT"
@1jimcox Are you going to live my prayers will go to you, God Bless You
Here I am watching this while reading his book The Last Lecture
This story made me really sad to hear but I'm glad he lived his life to the fullest and I hope I am strong enough to do the same if something ever happened to me!
@1jimcox Bless you. Live your life. I am soooo glad that you are at peace. I feel like crying for you. Take care and God Bless You.
his legacy will live on
R.I.P
he was ruly an angel on earth rest in peace
r.i.p Randy pausch
you were a great influence!
God bless his family..
Yeah. He's at the very begining of the movie. He's one of the crew members of the USS Kelvin. See the movie and wait for the credits. His lines are, "Captain, we have visual!"
It's sad that he died, but how wonderful that he lived! What is the purpose of life? To live.
I have a novel idea, how about we stop quibling over who's theory of afterlife is superior to each other, and actually do something useful like pay attention to what Randy Pausch's advice is, and therefore benefit society. Having listened to his words have inspired me to be a better person. My heart goes out to the Pausch Family, I am sure it is still a difficult time for them. May his children be reminded of the man their father was. RIP Randy Pausch.
your stronger then me, im healthy and scared shitless about death, wish i was more like you mentaly.
I think that's very sad too Dittomom... People just don't understand that as Christians we know what's up and we care about other people and that's why we feel a certain way when someone denies God and dies. All they keep doing is calling us cowards and saying we're stuck up and all that. They just don't see what we do, and that truly is sad. Poor Mr. Pausch... It sucks he died, he had such love for life.
Reminds me of the song " Live Like You Are Dying "
my aunt is going through the war against cancer and made it through when young and now things have gotten bad and now she has hepititus
@tuzmor Beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL.
CANNOT agree MORE.
Randy Pausch is the "forgotten man." He represents the pioneers of this country who have seemingly disappeared within our current state of entitlement and bailouts. He understood the meaning of his life and was unafraid to accept the inevitable. They should show this lecture in every classroom in America. Get off your asses people, and stop complaining. Thanks, Randy :)
You can celebrate your 100th birthday and done NOTHING with your life.
What IS the sign of human greatness??...Well for me its whether or not your name will be remembered in 100 years time...and Randy, you WILL be remembered in a 100 years time by future generations. God bless you
RIP brother
some time life become without any kind of mercy...fuck man...some time life is shit...that make me cry...
@tuzmor wow if this is the way you see the world then i feel sorry for you. The world has its problems, but i also have an abundance of happiness and love. Everyday in every country, almost if not in every town a child feels the love for its family, or a couple in love just watching the sunset. And this is not just in the west world. Its everywhere, and you have to be really cynical to shut it out. Love and happiness is bigger than hate and sadness!
Think of all the good he brought with his life though.
So sad he died, so much bad in this world.
=(
I dont think he left them. Bad choice of words. He instilled in them forever him in their hears
Saw him on the new Star Trek film! "Captain, we have visual!"
@foolofaguyinlove And it isn't as though he wasn't this way BEFORE he knew of his death, right?
It isn't as though death hit him with the sense of urgency of how best to make use of his time left, rather than squander it away, mindlessly.
He was ALWAYS the man we saw, when diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.
He was the real deal.
Nothing short of a divine inspiration.
The bottom line is that no one knows what will happen to us after we die. Some people believe that we will meet the master of the universe and it will judge us, but they have no evidence to support their claim. The simple point is that this kind of thing is beyond the realm of what a human being can know and therefore must be left to faith. Those that believe that they will meet their maker and be judged by it, cannot know that this will happen. They simply believe it so.
@tuzmor How is happiness being disconnected? Looking back on my life, the moments I am at my happiest are when I am with others. Happiness is not the rejection of everything that is wrong with the world, but embracing everything that is right. The world is not perfect, nor does it need to be for me to not suffer or not be happy. I can better my own situation and the situation of those around me; why is that not cause for celebration? That I am alive & healthy is reason enough for me to celebrate
he was in Star Trek?! That's great! He got even closer to one of his dreams...:)
rip randy
who thnks that they should make a movie about this guy and who better than daniel day lewis to play the part, sur to be a tear jerker...
@questingQuentin Ok I watched another clip and he does make mention of Moses and the Promised Land, but I don't know if he is doing it from simply a historical perspective or as a Christian. His teaching seems rather humanistic. Do not place your hopes in the future of mankind on Earth, but rather in life after death with God.
I think Foxtrot means is that although Randy's lecture was exceptional and inspiring, it was mostly autobiographical. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. But would it be of much value if he wasn't dying? Probably not.
Someday, when you grow up from being an immature person, you will respect people more like Randy. Until then, I feel bad for you.
@1jimcox You have my love brother.
逸見政孝さんがこれを見ていて、病院側がしっかり informed consent できていたら……。日本の医療も患者に対する人権も遅れてる。実に悲しい。
I'm all for having your own opinion but really......? Who dislikes this?
@kappkids yes man ,that's true...they are so lucky...i wish i was one of them...
@crystalsky84
Well it's not like the speech moved us to change our lives. It's not like it made us realize in any way that there might be another way to go about what we're doing. No... if it did that... the speech would be inspiring.
I understand there is more life after death. I understand the importance of many faiths, not just Christians, in preparing for death. The question remains, why if living is such a sin would God place us here in the first place? After all, the Angel's were also tested and failed. Such was the case with Lucifer. So please, his message was not that you are saved by living well, his message was to live longer the life that God or however we want to call him, gave us. God gave us this life.

Positive thinking is great, but his statement about beating "the Reaper" by living well is worldly wisdom at best. As a Christian, I/we know that salvation cannot be earned, it is the gift of God through Christ--but in order to receive it we have to believe in Him, not in our own goodness. Even convicted felons can receive salvation, if their repentance is true. I don't know if this guy was a believer or not... Know Jesus and you will have eternal life in Heaven--it is the Christian perspective.
not quite actually. do some research. youd be amazed what happens when the heart stops. youre not "dead" for quite some time after that event.
dude u need to look up the facts on how people die when they're crucified.... its excruciating.
uhhhh, what?
@probe26 CHriST
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:3 - 11 ESV)
I hate all these freacking videos, I hate all news! They screw up everything, his last lecture was truly amazing, He was the most amazing person to be imagined, we need more people like him, he's much more better than Obama! He was an amazing person, and he faced his own death.
DEAD
Everyone is entitled to believe what they want and have their own opinions. Randy did suffer, but I do not think your statement is true, because Jesus suffered for the sins of others, while Randy and all of mankind die of ancestry sin (Adam & Eve). My point, though, is that its not about how much one suffer's, but rather if they make the suffering worth something and I think Christ and Randy both were successful in making it worth while.
Shhh. I wonder why debates like this can burn in such a way. You have a right not to believe, everybody respects that. None of us can prove the existence of God or his non-existence. I see you are interested in science. Here's a small thing for you: once Einstein said that a man can possess only 1% of all the knowledge that there is; if he uses his brain to all limits. God can exist in the remaining 99%. You make an absolute statement with a mind that has boundaries.
Why are you trying to tarnish a man's image to people who may have different beliefs than him? His beliefs had nothing to do with the motivation he gave us in lectures on how to reach for our dreams.
You speak of God not being real as fact. It's an opinion, with the only fact being that you gave up the quest at a young age. You may be bitter at Christians because most have issues thinking they are God themselves, but nobody should condemn you for your beliefs. Same goes for you with them.
Pancreas = success, he must have secretly felt like a failure.
Not so shocking (lol)
