 Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture" talk Hi everyone, I've been reading these boards for a long time (~1 year) but haven't contributed yet. I'm currently a graduate student finishing my doctoral thesis, and will defend it and hopefully graduate at the end of this month. I recently found something that was very inspiring for me, which I wanted to share with you because I thought some of you might get a lot out of it. Probably some of you have seen Professor Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture" presentation, but if you have not, do check it out. It's 76 minutes, but it is a worthwhile investment of time. He is an energetic speaker and very entertaining. He also has a good talk on time management on the page which I found valuable as well. Here is the link: Randy Pausch's Home Page Best, Amber      |

| The guy is an inspration, the fact of what he is going through and how he has reacted to it. However the talk itself is very over rated. There is nothing of value here, it's poorly put together and doesn't really offer anything. |

| Sorry that it wasn't useful for you, Smarky. I did find it cheering and inspiring for my own life, and see a lot of parallels in terms of what I am going through. I hope it will be inspiring for someone else. Amber |

In August 2007 he was given 3-6 months to live, and he gave the first Last Lecture in September 2007. Now 9 months later, he's still alive though, isn't he? |
