Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Quite a few months back I did an article on Dr Randy Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture’, well today somebody sent me this version….much shorter…from the Oprah Winfrey Show. What an amazing man….dying with pancreatic cancer and giving this moving, motivating and inspirational speech.

His talk is about childhood dreams and how he just went for what he wanted…getting rejected along the way…but even keeping his rejection letters…finding them inspirational. “Experience is what you get…when you don’t get what you want”. Also making the point that you must always have fun.

Sadly, Dr. Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor lost his battle with cancer on the 25th July, 2008, leaving behind a wife and three young children. He was only 47 years old.

Watch…pass it along to your friends….I’m sure they too will find it motivating and inspirational. You can find the full lecture on ‘You Tube’, it has been viewed by millions…. is well worth watching.

I’m listening….so please leave me feedback..

Prof. Randy Pausch “The Last Lecture” dies on 25th July, 2008
Monday, July 28th, 2008

I just wanted to make mention of Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) knowing that he was dying with cancer, gave his last lecture on Sept. 18, 2007 at the university before a packed Auditorium.
With equal parts of heart and humour he delivered a one-of-a kind last lecture, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” Pausch talked about the lessons he learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own personal and career goals. This lecture has moved audiences around the globe. An amazing man who I am sure will be very sadly missed by all who knew him.
Randy died on July 25 of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 47. If you haven’t seen this video before it is an absolute must watch. Click on the link below to watch the video.
