Inspirational Video by Dr. Randy Pausch: The Last Lecture
Dr. Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University professor who is dying of pancreatic cancer, gives a reprise of his last lecture at the Oprah show. He shares his childhood dreams-what they were and how he achieved most of them-and inspires people to go after theirs.
He also motivates people to live their lives with the correct principles so that when they look back, they will have no regrets. His testimony is made powerful by the fact that he is choosing to live life to the full despite his sickness and is changing people's perspectives while he's at it.
