  • Professor Randy Pausch made a surprise return to Carnegie Mellon University to deliver an inspirational speech to the Class of 2008 at the Commencement ceremony on May 18, 2008.
    Pausch was included in TIME Magazine's 2008 list of the world's 100 most influential people. His book, "The Last Lecture," co-written by Jeff Zaslow of the Wall Street Journal and based on Pausch's now-famous talk "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," is a New York Times #1 bestseller.

    He just gave us the secret to a happy relationship. You should probably not get married until you meet someone whose happiness is more important than yours. It's makes so much sense. Both parties should whole this sentiment as true. It will be the glue that keeps you together. Thank You Professor Pausch.

    "We don't beat the reaper by living longer, but by living well, and living fully - for the reaper will come for all of us. The question is: what do we do between the time we're born and the time he shows up. Because when he shows up, it’s too late to do all the things that you’re always gonna, kinda get around to.It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our death bed. It is the things we do not. " so inspiring~!!!

    I stumbled upon Randy website by accident. I watched his last lecture at Carnegie, via Google video, and i was definitely inspired by his great speech. A great a example of a man who was taken too early, but still managed to live a longer life them most of us will ever dream about. God Bless Randy - Im inspired!

    Oh my God, he was so wise and full of comapssion, it is such a pity that you had to leave this world Dr Pausch, but then again you might have been an angel and God wanted you back.
    But you planted the seeds in our hearts and for that we will be ever thankful. Your time on earth might have been short but your legacy will live for ever. God bless your soul. THANK YOU.

    I feel deprived to have never met this man, and feel such pain to know someone like him has such a short time left. What a great human being! I have bought several books and his Last Lecture DVD to give to others. He is an inspiration and I feel the need to share his story with as many as I can. God bless you, Jai and your beautiful children. You will live on in many hearts. Aloha

    This never gets old. Dr. Pausch had it right. Quality of life is superior to quantity of life. Once you figure out what your passion is, pursue it fully while remembering that people are the greater investment than material things. God bless that man and his family.

You are one of the most inspiring persons I have read and watched... you have tought us that following our childhood dreams is something that requires courage... and sometimes other paths seem to be easier...but do not fulfill our souls the same. God bless you Randy. You are not alone :)

    @QueenMichelle99 Před 16 lety +3

    I'm deeply saddened by the news. I was just checking his site the other day for updates & seen where he wasn't doing well but still holding onto hope.For Randy:You outlived the doctor's expectations & you saved many lives. Ill never forget the letter that man wrote to you. He wanted to commit suicide but decided not to, he realized that he took everything for granted, while you took nothing for granted. Long live your memory Randy, the inspiration you gave others, and the lives that you changed.

    @MarcoAnders Před 16 lety

    I like what Randy Pausch has to say, for the most part. What's there to disagree with? It's his life and he chose to live it the way he wanted. He's not telling anyone how to live rather sharing his experience with others. His message is simple and elegant and I admire him for keeping the hocus-pocus religious stuff out of it.

  • @bulldoghockey27
    @bulldoghockey27 Před 15 lety

    He doesn't "sound" inspiring, he IS inspiring. So many people are diagnosed with cancer. Some need inspiration to carry on and fight it. However, he serves as an inspiration to people like me who are perfectly healthy as well. I am so grateful that there are still people like Randy Pausch in this world to serve as a reminder of how beautiful life really is. It's a reminder that i'm fortunate enough to have a great life and that I should make the most of it every single day.

    What a great man. The world needs to listen to his every word. If only he could have lived life beyond his years. He would have made a great president and inspired a great nation and world. How unfortunate we are to have lost him. I hope the world is kind to his wife and children for surely they deserve so much and have lost so much.

    I stumbled upon his book the last lecture by error but im glad i did. he is an amazingly inspirational man who can give a valuable life lesson to any man. If u haven't seen his vid on the last lecture, you tube it and i'll warn you, have a box of tissues ready bc at some point, you reflect on your life and realize how much better you can make it. by doing some seemingly insignificant thing. In the end that thing, makes your life all the better.

    may his soul rest in peace.

    What Dr. Pausch has achieved in 47 yrs wud be difficult to achieve in 470 yrs too for most of us & its not his acad or intellectual achievement that is important here (though those r incredible too in their own rights), but the peace & wisdom with which he connects to his surrounding, the generosity he oozes out at the most difficult times, he reminds me of those saints & mystics who were beyond the cycles of life and death, the ones who hv achieved immortality - Randy is one of those rare fews!

    Randy, you are so down-to-earth when you speak, yet you always inspire. You deliver the kind of simple truths that won't dawn on us until much later: Finding that person whose happiness is more important than your own is what love is really about. It's a verb; it is the act of giving, sometimes sacrificing, but putting the needs of other(s) ahead of your own. Thank you for fighting your cancer while sharing whatever you can and want of this experience with the world.
