- 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.

There are some big quotes to pick here.
One of them : "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted"
Romain Vincent my favorite one
Which is now the caption on all my social media
Well then I have a shit ton of experience..
I like this quote, same concept as trial and error.
@@frankiebowers7576 what happened to you ?
I was a grad student at CMU's Entertainment Technology Center when Randy gave this lecture. In 2008 he came to our graduation ceremony on main campus and ETC's diploma ceremony at Heinz field, he was so sick and weak but he still came. I wrote him an email telling him how thrilled I was to be a graduate from the school he and Don Marinelli started and proud of being the "oldest" student there (in my 50's) and I actually made it thru. As sick as Randy was he wrote me back and told me how proud I should be of that accomplishment. I understand he answered every single email he got no matter how lousy he felt. That's what made me love this guy. What a trooper and a true inspiration, his children will forever be so proud of him and his legacy will forever inspire millions. Way to go Randy...
What an amazing story. Kudos to you for your accomplishments. And thank you for sharing a highlight of your journey. What a privledge to have met or talked to him.
Hi Valerie!
valerie, thank you so much for sharing that. makes me love him even more. :)
Thank you so much for sharing, Valerie Sofranko.

In his book 'The Last Lecture', Randy says his wife whispered 'Please don't die' to him when she hugged him before blowing out her birthday candle. Knowing this watching that part of the lecture always wrecks me.
That part teared me up
Me too
Not me bawling my eyes out watching this after reading the book 😭💔
I've watched this every year on Christmas for the past 15 years. Randy is still changing my life.
Stealing this idea
did you watch it on recent christmas ?
@@FacebookInc. Yep, a couple of days ago.
Igor, you are a smart guy.
That's what I need to do.
The brick walls are there for a reason. They're not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give
us a chance to show how badly we want something.
they are there to stop us
@@WrathofFenrir99 okay i'll admit the border won't stop me that's a different story
omgee gonna help with my easy, thanks!
"This talk wasn't for you, it was for my kids."
Had me shed a tear. To think of the emotion that he felt in that moment, knowing what he knew about his time left...
You need to read the book and then watch this again. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you’re done
As a mom, this quote really hit different.
so true, so heartbreaking
His last line about the second head fake hits me so hard every time I watch this speech. What an incredible man, I wish I could have spent time in his presence.
Whats it mean?
You know what I think is neat? Even though we didn't get to see him day in and day out, I feel like we're all his students. Between this lecture, the book that was written, his entire body of work, we all get to spend time in his presence. How lucky we are.
If you watched this, you did. That was/is the point.
It got me sobbing ❤
You just did.
1. Imagine freely don't take limitations
2. Have specfic dreams
3. Don't forget your childhood dreams.
4. If you're not listening for your mistakes then your not at the right place.
5. Try to Learn from everything.
6. Brick walls are not there to stop us getting something it's there to check how badly we want something.
7. Imagine your life as a game, see challenges as adventure enjoy every day.
8. Help others
9. Never loose the child inside you.
udk how much i needed this
Thanks for helping me cheat in school
well damn now I gotta pick something other than these 9 or my teachers gopnna assume I copied off of you.
I highly recommend reading his book " the last lecture ". While the video is great, the book itself is amazing.
I'm reading it right now!
dudecabill Me too! It is quite good.
The book gives an amazing insider perspective of what came before and after the lecture which is where his headspace was at... yet he managed to pull this last lecture together. I loved the book and this lecture
Thanks Kathryn, though I got to know about this gentleman today morning, almost 11 years after his demise, but placed the order for the book on Amazon. An amazing person !!
I read the book first, then came looking for the actual "Last Lecture"
That book tied with watching the actual lecture was one of the greatest lessons I will ever be taught in my life.
It’s almost 2024 and this lecture is more alive than ever. #Legacy 🙌
“When you screwing up and nobody’s saying anything to you anymore,that means they gave up.When you see yourself doing something badly and no one bothering to tell you anymore,that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care”
Note for life,thank you professor!
I like this part the most..
He'd be so proud of all the Vr this year.
This is year 20 or so for VR. The Aladin ride he talks about was 1996. That was VR, too.
@@thekuygerian I totally agree.
@@thekuygerian facts
VR sucks
What an incredible man
I agree
+Caleb McGregor I love him a little bit
How To Make Sushi such a great guy, wish more people were like him 😢
😿
so true, and love your channel keep it up
I stole a book from my school library named 'The Last lecture'. At that time, I had no idea what this book was about. And that was one of the best things I have ever stolen in my life.
What's the second best?
This comment
I read his book when I was a kid (~ 12 years ago), a translated version of his book 'Last lecture'. Today, I am studying computer science at CMU :)
How's the book ?
@@jaishankarsaran9497it's great, I think it really adds some more depth to what he's talked about here & coming back to watch it again will just hit different. Definitely recommend it!
Congrats. I was there some time ago in CIT. Enjoy your time there. You're with some of the smartest people in the world.
As a professor I watch this every once in awhile to remember why I am a professor and why it matters. This is an example of someone who cares more than the students will ever, ever know. What an awesome example of a great human being. I hope that people understand that as a teacher, under any circumstances, we put you first always even if we are dying. That is what it means to be a real teacher.
Your comment brought me to tears. I hope you’re still teaching and doing well!
thank you for being such a wonderful professors im sure their are some who appreciate you as much
Ditto!!!!
"...It's for my kids."
I've watched this video about a dozen times over the years and I still cry every single time he says that line...
I love you
instant ugly cry
That hit me so hard.
My teacher had to cancel class tomorrow since her flight got cancelled. She asked that we watch the 10 minute version of this video, but if we felt inspired watch the full one. All I can think of is what my classmates are missing. Randy Pausch sounds like an incredible man. I wish I will meet someone like him in my lifetime.
I mean this in the most respectful way possible but, YOU can be like him. You can be more incredible. Be the change you want to see.
You can't meet him, unfortunately he died
Sometimes, we never do meet a person like him. Which is why we must be that person for someone else.
How do you find the 10 mins version? I was assigned this and sorry, I have to FF through much of it due to the rambling. Not wasting 76 mins on this.
@@doeeyes7999 I would not call it "rambling" - I personally was really moved by his lecture, but hey, it's just my opinion. Here's the10 minute version for you:
czcams.com/video/BODHsU3hDo4/video.html&ab_channel=RobLogan
"Don't complain, work harder."
Working harder isn't always being ignorant--it's acceptance of having to move forward. Heck, complaining might be more ignorant than working.
Its so depressing that this man didnt get to live a full life. We need more people like him
Yet, he lived a full life.
@@k3yw not at all
@@adamski4077 it wasnt a long life but it was full of everything he could fill it with in the time it had.
To think that he isn’t here to see the metaverse, but was an early pioneer of the concept.
He lived a life more full in his 48 years than many who lived twice as long. His children certainly missed having more of him in their lives ... and we, in the world, would most likely have benefited more if he lived longer, but he himself... deserves everything Heaven has to offer him ❤
My younger brother recommended the book to me at midnight tonight and tells me they're reading it in his English 100 class. I read the intro, then proceeded to the first chapter with the thought "Maybe just three more chapters." It's 3:40am and I finished the entire book & just finished watching this video. He is such an inspiring guy. It's my first semester in grad school & I've hit so many walls. I, myself, was my own wall. However, with his advice (which goes into much more detail in the book), I've gripped a whole new meaning on academia and my pursuits to chase my own childhood dreams and lead my life.
Love.
ok i know this comment is four years old but "I was my own wall?" ..damn that's eye opening
How do you manage to finish a book that fast? can you teach me? I have so many books to read and this book Iam only 15 pages in since 3 days .... could really use some advise
In my darkest moments, I always watch to Randy Pausch's last lecture to remind me what is really important in life ♥️
I probably watch this once a month as a "refresher", and I shared it with all my former colleagues just before my retirement - in the hopes they can get right everything I got wrong.
"Im gonna keep having fun every day I have left, because there's no other way to play it" Beautiful
My son is at Carnegie Mellon studying Computer Science and Virtual Reality thanks to Randy's pioneering. His IDeATE program and the Master's program at the ETC are both going as strong as ever. This man built an educational legacy. Most important, each Freshman student to CMU receives a copy of his book- The Last Lecture. My son is honored to help run sessions with the Freshmen to discuss the book's message during Orientation. The entire CMU community lives Randy's message every day. What a great place.
What did your son end up doing ?
Lol not anymore that shit old.
What a rare situation where a university properly understood a faculty members value and allowed him to do his thing. In return he brought so much value.
I watched this talk in 2007 and I am watching it again in 2024.
I have severe depression. Everytime I feel like maybe it’s time to quit, I comeback to watch this for a bit of extra courage, in-hopes to carry on longer. This must be the 10ish time I have watched this video in 6 years. Thank you Randy.
Obrigada Randy por tanto aprendizado ...
If you just choose to stop being depressed then you aren't depressed.
Deppresion isnt just something you can stop. You can only hope to find something to keep you living
"You might as well be selling something worthwhile like education" Awesome line.
At one of the scariest and saddest moments so far in my life, where I have to reflect on myself and figure out who I am and who I am going to be… I just so happen to stumble across a 14 year video on CZcams of a lecture by someone who I have never heard of, who has lead a career in a field I have no interest in… and it has changed my life.
It’s sad to see such positive and impactful people taken so soon in their lives, but even after death he is still helping people. I didn’t expect to be tearing up right now an hour or so ago when I started this video
Similarly here too, I came across this without intentionally looking for it. It sort of found me in the midst of trying to work on myself and my life. Blessings 💕
Things happen for a reason! Aren't we blessed! I had never heard of him, but just came across him in my list of possible videos to watch. So glad I did!
At the end, when she hugged him whe whispered something into his ear.. I cry everytime I read or see this. She says "Please dont die."
2022 and this is still so valuable
, would never be forgotten
2023 too
It is sometimes so easy to watch a video, get inspired, and then get back to work, and completely forget everything you have learnt.
The first time I watched this video, was back in 2009, just graduated from CMU, fresh and ambitious, wanting to do good to the world and to myself, this video was such an inspiration that keeps me moving.
Fast forward 6 years, I am so glad to watch this again, there were just so many things that got lost in daily work and life, and thanks, Randy, again, for one of the greatest lecture ever, and thanks for reminding us what is really living life.
And another 5 years has posted since you posted that ....
"This is my son, he's a doctor but not the kind who helps people" ROFL his mom was legendary
ironically he did help more people than most of so called doctors.
@@monad_tcp There’s a way to convey that sentiment without being shitty about it.
I think a Tigger would laugh at that statement whereas an eoyore would complain their mom doesn't appreciate their efforts. His speech really does show another way to perceive life.
@@Ezralite7 probably, but you have to be shitty with shit people that thing that medics are someway special to be "doctors"
Such a good speech.
+KARNAGE Clan confused why you're here
+Yellow lol me too
Kinda weird to find you here
Karnage wtf
My public speaking professor posted this video and I thought to myself there was no way in hell I was going to sit here for over an hour to get an idea on how to deliver an informative speech. Well, time flew and the video just ended and I am so glad that I watched the entire speech. I wish I could even remember a snippet of my own childhood dreams.
I’ve just finished the book after feeling uninspired and flat in life… what a beautiful outlook on life (and death). His wife and children should be incredibly proud. As a person who grew up without a father, to lose this man will be tough but what an uplifting legacy he has left. Love
This is still the most inspirational video on CZcams.
I thought of you today.
You taught well.
You were brave, you were humble, you were sincere.
Thank you for your influence
Beautifully stated. I don't even remember how I got here, but I've teared up several times and it isn't even 1/4 through.
I didn't make this comment to talk about my life, or to in any way take away from this honorable individual but my fiance passed away from COVID on April 8th, 2020....most incredible man I've ever known....he was my best friend, my greatest critic, an honorable and noble, sincere soul that thanked ME for challenging him to love me as I needed to be loved because it helped him EVOLVE....our connection was and is, ALWAYS WILL BE otherworldly. I miss his physicality every single second of my earthly life, full well knowing in my humble opinion that we all come here to do a job whether we see or can acknowledge it's importance or not....we ALL share the commonality of clocking out for the last time/retiring/getting promoted into paradise etc....growing up with a painful, chronic, debilitating genetic illness I've been "close to the other side" more times than I care to recollect most days, and we'd have these in depth spiritual conversations and he'd always tell me that NONE OF US KNOW when it's our time to "retire", so might as well find all the joy in this Earthly assignment that we can.
And somehow still that statement never became "real" to me until I called this hospital on the 4th day of his hospitalization and found out he'd gone from needing just room air to requiring ventilation in a period of less than 30 minutes. Everything I'd ever feared was flipped on its head in an instant. And I'd continue to bore anyone who is reading this with the details of my grieving process but I've already gotten ahead of myself so my TLDR is this:
It has been close to a decade or perhaps a bit longer since this incredible soul shed his earthly body...and he is STILL contributing to society in an impactful way, at a time where most would've been understandably selfish with their time, understandably pissed off or full of rage and remorse and sulking because life truly isn't fair....he thought about people he'd never even met.
THAT is what living truly is about. I can only pray I can honor my fiances legacy in any facet that reflects the beauty of this incredible soul. I am completely in awe and I am so grateful for having come across his "last lecture" that will forever immortalize the expansiveness and tenacity of the human spirit.
I will re-share this forever, Randy has inspired me for a lifetime.
Same for me !
So proud you feel the same
How blessed we are that we live in a world where more than a select few can get to know such great human beings like Randy.
Randy became my goeroe before he went to heaven.
Now I have cancer. I take his tread of loving live now.
And I go for it. Heidi
Dude how are you ?
@@hansolo6920 same
You alive?
Dead
5 year survival rate is low unless it’s something like ALL or leukemia.
I know I'm late to Randy's story, but I just finished reading his book "The Last Lecture". It's an amazing read. He comes across as a spectacular man. I wish his wife and children the very best! So very cool to have a smart father/husband who left this profound literature for us to enjoy.
This man has been dead for 10 years and he still lives on. Legend living beyond the grave.
Boy, this guy would love and be amazed by the oculus rift
+Nick Kraw Great point, As a teacher, I really believe that VR and interactive media is the future to help to individualise education.
Re-watching this in 2024. Boy, what Randy would love to see with Apple Vision Pro and all the cool tech gadgets we have today. Miss ya. I really needed something to lift me up today.
His speech changed my life.
explain how.
There were many things. But one thing I like most was about how a kid spilled drinks onto the seats of a new car and he said the car was only a thing, and not made the kid feel bad about it.
@Jesse Nicholson. You know him personally?
+Jesse Nicholson In the book it said he stopped working so late, after he met Jai and started a family :)
+Jesse Nicholson He must have failed your ignorant ass.
It's because of this video that I decided to study computer science. I'll be graduating from The University of Texas at Austin with a double major in International Political Economy and Computer Science in the Spring of 2021.
Congrats man .
@Rahul Cherkuri why do you care
This lecture should pop up in everyone’s feed from time to time as long as the internet exists. …and on educational network channels as well.
I will come back here to watch again and again.
How does this video only have 18 million views?!???
Probably 2 reasons:
1:because it was put on CZcams REALLY early on back when there weren't nearly as many viewers
2: There are probably a million other versions of it out there.
Sharing like there is no tomorrow here.
The world may never know :3
Long videos tend to discourage viewers to watch. Unless you know that is going to be good.
now i'm viewing...
I never met Professor Pausch, but this speech and book taught me to live life to the fullest and that failure is a stepping stone in life.
This will probably be the best lecture I have ever heard in my entire life. Thank you, Randy Rausch. ❤🎉 Hello to the children of Randy and Jay Rausch. I'm sure you cherish your father's gift to you and I'm honored he shared it with the world and myself.
Fuck no 😂
15 years after and this is the best video I've watched this year. This man was and is a gem
ten minutes into the lecture, I paused the video, went to get a notepad and a pen, came back and started the video from the beginning. :)
Justina Greiciute that just happened to me right now 😭🤷🏼♀️♥️
so true.
That was well said Justina, .
Hey Randy. I can't believe it's been six years. It feels like it was yesterday that you left us. I think of you nearly every day and I still use the words you spoke to put things in perspective whenever I hit a wall. I remember you saying that you think people will get more out of your lecture on time-management than out of your Last Lecture but I don't think you ever counted on a guy like me.
Two years ago I was lying on the floor in my living room. I had given up and was ready to join you wherever you are now, whether that be oblivion or whatever comes after this life, stiff in the fetal position, my eyes full of tears and feeling more alone and worthless than I can ever express in words. It was like I was playing child's game where the ground was lava and you had to walk on things to avoid falling in. When the time came for me to ask for help, to attempt my walk across the field of lava your talk was one of the planks I depended on to keep me from falling, falling into a place from which there is no return.
You gave every bit of your last moments to the people you loved. Listening to your lecture again tonight I now realize that you loved all people. You loved everyone. At some point in our lives we all need someone to keep us from the lava and that lecture is still flying around the globe like an echo in a canyon.
Thank you, on behalf of myself and everyone else that you have helped.

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”
May he rest in peace. Thank you for the video.
Just finished reading his book. What a great person. People like him would make this world better! Thank you Randy! Thank you for your contribution to this world!
you are my teacher forever. i don't remember how many times i watch this, but i remember every time i can have a dream again
What a wonderful man and what a spirit. The video allows him to live on for us and for those who will come later. Inspiring.
Watched this in one of my college classes yesterday and what a wonderful lecture. I'm so sad this amazing man passed away. Everyone should watch this
Watch this again
Personally, this lecture is the absolute best content I’ve ever found on the internet. I’ve been occasionally watching it since the day it came out, and I believe my life has been deeply impacted by integrating Randy’s lessons and attitudes. I also believe that there are many people, all over the world, who feel the same. Thank you Randy. I’ll see you again next Christmas.
That’s sad man 💀
When I look back at my 20's, this is the talk that really changed things for me.
Dear Carnegie Mellon :),
I would like to say, thank you, to you, for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube family :).
I would like to wish you a healthy, safe, generously, lovely and wise day, Carnegie Mellon :).
Kind Regards
Ray :) Love from Australia :).
I watched this video lecture right around the time of the birth of my son. I was struggling with responsibility, the thought of raising another human being and to be a role model for my family..
When he said I did this lecture for three people (his children) and when they grow up they'll see it. I thought to myself, what life lessons feom my own life would I have to show for, to my kids if I was in Randy's position. And I realised it was slim pickings.
This video was absolutely changed my perspective towards life. I completely changed my life to become the person I want my children to become. This video is the single biggest trigger that did that. I owe so much to this man 12 years on. I quote this video to so many people I come across.
May you R.I.P Randy!
Damn near cry Everytime after watching this multiple times for years.
I try to re-read his book every few months to give me perspective. What an amazing man.
That softened me up like warm butter, I just collapsed into an endless torrent of tears at the end; the good really do die young.
Watching it again 10 years later, still as incredible as it was
Hard to believe that it's been 7 years since I first watched this. It still influences me today. I think this should be REQUIRED viewing for anyone who teaches.🙂
This is a video, I always come back to watch again and again. First time when I watched it was 2008 when I just started my PhD. I watched it again when I take a year out for my first baby, again when I came back to study, again when I was stuck in my final year, again when my daughter was said I am not a Dr that help people.......11 years passed, I have left my research life behind start a new journey in business, I keep coming back to this video because it gives me the strength to face all the wall that I am facing......Thanks, Randy.
Randy Pausch's Last Lecture - A must watch, must read (book's even better...) for anyone who -thinks- knows they still have something to learn!
This is a good antidote for the sadness I've felt today. Thank you!
I had to watch this for an assignment and when I saw it was over an hour long, I was dreading to start it. But I ended up watching the whole thing all the way through. What a great lecture. What a great man. Rest in peace Randy Pausch.
I remember going to this lecture when I was 6 and telling randy I wanted to be a bird when I grew up and randy told me birds weren’t real. Thanks a lot randy you crushed my dreams.
Birds aren't real. They are drones.
Did your mom laugh?
hallarious
This lectue, the book and the guy are easily in the top 10 of the biggest influences of my life.
Who the hell are the 2000+ people that disliked this video?
certainly not humans
nazy zombies from Mars
students who have an assignment on this due in a few hours
Pessimists
Ik this is old , but I'm willing to bet s lot are bots from peeps who hate Carnegie Mellon.
This was the best 1 hour and 16 minutes that I've ever been assigned to watch by a professor.
The fact that he made this video for his kids to have some sort of memory of him... emotional
How is it possible that people can dislike this?
This is my third time revisiting this, and each time I learn something and become inspired again.
He was a notorious anti LGBT and blm
This lecture is just... amazing. I read the book for a school project and I knew I had to watch the lecture. Randy executed this talk so well with the humor and philosophy intertwined, and how he told stories about how the people in his life influenced him and helped him become the man he was when he gave this lecture.
Kill me for it, but I had to take note of his friend making the comment about rowdy fans at OSU pep rallies... we're very spirited, us Ohioans.
But anyways, I really enjoy this video and I'm so glad Randy made that decision to give the lecture even though he was dying. It's affected so many lives and made so many of us think deeper about what we've learned from life.
I have no idea what kind of teacher makes their students read Randy's book, but that is the kind of teacher I wish every student could have.
Actually, I chose this book :) *****
***** haha my social studies teacher is making us do this (8th grade) and I love it
@@EpicPkmn wow, 8th grade?!? That's amazing. In 8th grade I'd just been diagnosed with a painful, chronic genetic illness that my team of physicians thought would inevitably be my demise within a year of my late diagnosis.
So many aspects of my "childhood dreams" are literally a blank because my whole life became a fight for my physicality. I am currently 31 and I am just so enamored to still be here to see sunsets and experience thunderstorms. Joy and pain you know? Just the simple things....I have an 11 year old daughter (that I was also "not supposed to be able to have") and I tell her ALL the time that you guys generation will change the world. My cohorts in 8th grade wouldn't have been able to grasp the importance of the incredible legacy this man left. But you guys are more than capable, and I personally am honored to live in a world where you guys will be the change that's been needed for so very long.
May you never for get how importance your existence truly is and how much you contribute to the world just by being in it.
Randy , i am indebted to you. You taught me humility and true value of time. I still remembers u
I read his book in my early 20s. Revisiting this years later now that I am a parent hits on a whole other level.
Can't even imagine how many lives this man changed just by this one last lecture. Truly one of the greatest man I have ever seen or heard about......
Me: “I need motivation and have no inspiration in life ...”
CZcams: “May we recommend you watch/listen to this video from 14 years ago?”
Every once in a while I come back and watch this again. Randy Pausch still influences me just from having watched this 14 years ago. Thank you Randy.
Great talk but the game with the bunnies was creepy af
Taking developmental psychology for this summer, and we just had to write a reaction paper to Dr. Pauschs lecture. My god is this the best thing I've ever watched!! I was feeling quite unmotivated to have to watch a 76 minute lecture and then write a paper on it, but I feel like I could write about this for hours. I love his message, I love his personality, and I'm so glad it seems that he enjoyed every bit of life that he could. Even in his final stage, he showed us how to have fun, and to never lose our inner child!
I hope I can live my life to the fullest as did Dr. Pausch.
You live on in all of us, Randy!
This man radiated positive energy
His book lead me here. And it was the most heart warming book I have ever read. This man lived, and he has lived well. Rest in piece
This will never get old.
Indeed. I watched this when this came out 12 or 13 years ago, and I still rewatch it every couple of years to this day.
Just finished reading the book yesterday and then searched for this lecture on CZcams. The book taught me a lot, but seeing him deliver the lecture made me FEEL the lessons he wanted to convey. Here was a man, when comes such another?
I JUST FINISHED HIS BOOK. I LOVE IT AND GODDD WHAT A TRUE INSPIRATION.
Sometimes CZcams recommendation just nail it very well.
thanks for this wonderful opportunity to see this amazing person.
I have watched this several times now. My Human Development Professor introduced this to me last week for our final assignment. It has changed a lot for me. What an inspiration. I will share this with all my grandchildren once they understand it. Praying for his children and wife. I’m sure they will treasure this forever. Rest in Jesus Dr. Pausch.
Man, it really hurts to see this guy be so passionate about VR and not live to see it proliferate as it's been over the last few years...
He wouldve loved it
I try to watch this in December, when the thrill and memories of Christmas clash with the cold and dreary gloom of January. It is good medicine for the soul. Thank You Randy Pausch
I remember the first time watching this clip in 2008 when my father passed away from myocardial infarction. This happened on his last business trip which me and my mom weren't there. It was sudden and abrupt and the next thing I realised was to pick up my father's remain from international cargo bay at the airport. I remember how powerful Prof. Pausch's words were to me at my lowest point in life, and here I am in 2017 still watching and learning more and more every single time I watch this clip.
Much respect to you sir, wherever you are right now.
I read the book "The Last Lecture", today. I must admit that I was so phenomenally touched by the book, that I ended up in tears by the time, I finished the book. What an incredible human being, Randy Pausch was! Loved his philosophy and pragmatism, both at the same time. Much love and regards to his family ❤️
I don't normally watch a video passed 3 minutes but I watched this one; I teared up a little bit and made me look at things a lot differently
Same honestly
The most inspiring thing I have ever seen/heard. This is an amazing video I would recommend to anyone.
I try to watch this once a year
I didn’t expect to cry. I read the comments of people saying they did but did not think I would. I did.
He was a very intelligent man.
