Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

There are some really important life lessons for you to learn from in this video. Though it is 1+ hour long, take the time to view it, especially if you have a partner, or if you are a parent, , or if you are dying, or even when you are just bored with your life now. Hope the video can give you some inspiration or life-changing lessons to take away with.

I found this video and got to know about this guy when I visited google.com. Apparently Google is honouring him on their popular home page as Randy passed away few days ago. I did not know who Randy was until I researched on him online. In May 2008, Pausch was listed by Time as one of the World’s Top-100 Most Influential People.
