Incredibly Inspirational

By the way, I think those of you who have not seen this video should watch this as soon as you get the time:



This man, Randy Pausch, is a professor of computer science at Carnegie Melon University, a very prestigious school. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer shortly before he gave this lecture, and he uses this lecture to advise people on how to achieve their childhood dreams. Such an inspirational video, this man combines various anecdotes from his life in a funny, interesting and profound manner, and it's incredibly useful for everybody.

I can't really put into words how great this is. I've probably watched it about 5-6 times since I first found it several months ago. Maybe I'm partially biased because this man, in career, personality, and goals, either reminds me of myself or is what I aspire to be. But still, if you're not even remotely touched or affected by this video, you have no soul.

After you watch this, check out his website and consider donating money for pancreatic cancer research.
