"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" by Randy Pausch

submitted by notarobot

1 decade 6 years 3 months 2 weeks ago

Philosophy

Randy Pausch has terminal cancer. At the time of this video, the university professor was told he would have only a few months left to live.

As a child, Randy dreamed of: experiencing zero gravity, playing in the NFL, writing an article for World Book encyclopedia, being captain Kirk, winning stuffed animals and being an imagineer at Disneyland.

In his lecture, he explains how he (essentially) achieved all but one of them, what he learned, and how you can too. Since the he gave the last lecture, he got to achieve the last one too.

While submitting this, I discovered that other, shorter, videos have already been submitted about the "Last Lecture" including an abridged version on Oprah. I feel that if videos about the last lecture are here the full, original, lecture should be here too.

Fret not, it's still a dupe

It even comes up in related videos ~_^

...except that that is NOT the same video, but actually ABOUT the original lecture video I was trying to post. I thought the full lecture was worth being part of the sift, not just the a trailer made after it.

If you've arrived here looking for Randy Pausch's Last Lecture, it is back on the sift and not a dupe. You can find it here:
