Last Lecture Professor Died

Remember Randy Pausch, the professor whose "last lecture" about facing terminal cancer became a YouTube sensation on the internet and then was turned into a best selling book? Sadly he died Friday morning of pancreatic cancer, he was 47. Randy Pausch was a computer professor, he delivered his lecture about "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" at Carnegie Mellon in September 2007. That time was a month after he was given by his doctor with only three to six months to live. Actually he even surpassed that and lived to almost a year from the time he received the sad news. Randy was very funny and he touched so many people for turning his life around after a 'death sentence'. Instead of sulking in tears he instead turned his last days worthwhile and touched so many lives with his lecture. In his lecture he mentioned about the importance of persistence, that the 'brick walls' are there for a reason,,,,to show us how badly we want something. He also said "I don't know how not to have fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left." Pausch is survived by his wife, Jai, and three children.
