Back


PLEASE donate to the Randy Pausch pancreatic cancer research fund.

Dr. Randy Pausch has passed away this morning on July 25, 2008. He will be GREATLY missed but his words and teachings will live on FOREVER!

This is a video that everyone should see. For those of you who aren't familiar with who Dr. Randy Pausch is, the short story goes like this:

He is a happily married man with three very young children. He spent years working for Disney as an Imagineer who helped them develop some of their theme park attractions. He then went on to teach at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania.

Abruptly, his life took a turn for the worse when he got cancer and fought it off after years of treatment. The cancer has since returned and has near-totally corupted several vital organs leaving him with mere months to live.

This video is his shortened speech on how not even death can bring this man down and how the dreams he sought to come true can inspire us all.

This video has changed my life and I will NEVER forget it. Will it do the same for you?

Please pass this video from the Oprah Winfrey Show on to anyone you feel takes life for granted or just pass it to someone who loves to live.

If more people in the world only had the same vision of life this place would be a much better place.

He quoted his one at Carnegie Mellon a ton. He didn't really have time to make up a new one though.

Wow, I'm surprised people are so struck by this.
Not to knock the poor guy, but he just gave a Tony Robbins speech, like they do by the airport. Your last chance at an undying message and all he has is cliches?
