Randy Pausch, Last Lecture Author Dies

By simplesahm | July 25, 2008

Very rarely am I moved by a YouTube video. Sometimes I find them funny…sometimes interesting - but very rarely am I truly touched.

That was until I stumbled upon Randy Pausch’s last lecture. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me feel encouraged…and best of all, it made me remember how blessed I am.

If you haven’t listened to the lecture…I’ve posted it below.

Randy leaves behind three young children and an adoring wife whose courage is also inspiring. I remember an interview she did where she discussed the inevitability of losing her husband (and the father of her children). Her response….”I have everything I need”. She says it is her motto.

Thanks to Randy’s inspirational message and his wife’s courage…it is my motto too.

God bless you Randy. You will be missed.
