Rest In Peace, Randy Pausch

A day or two behind, I'm listening this morning to yesterday's NPR Saturday Morning Edition radio show, where I just heard that Carnegie Mellon professor Dr. Randy Pausch has succumbed to the pancreatic cancer that overtook him, passing away on Friday, July 25.

Dr. Pausch offered a wonderful gift to his kids, and to the world, in his Last Lecture, recorded for posterity and memorialized in a book, The Last Lecture, which is currently on the NYT Best Seller List for Hardcover Advice Books.

I covered this topic in a post on January 12 of this year titled Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, which provides access to video clips.

Do yourself a favor and spend a little time on this video. Buy the book and give some thought to what you are doing in your life and why you are doing it. Kiss and hug the ones you love.

Thank You Most Sincerely and May God Bless You and Your Family, Randy Pausch.
