The last lecture.....


I'm hoping all of you have had the chance to see
"the last lecture"
Randy Pausch is an amazing man
and has taught thousands of people how to live,
even though he is dying.
So after many tears last night watching him on TV,
and puffy eyes this morning as a result,
this is what I found in my in-box.....

Today you are You, that is truer than true
There is no one alive
who is Youer than You

  6. I watched this yesterday and just about lost my mind. I love that he's not even a little bit teary until the very last line, which just drives it all home even more. My hurt hurts from the squeezing.

  8. This was unbelievable. I taped it -- about 10 minutes in -- because I thought, "I think there's going to be something in here I'll need to revisit." I know I'll be revisiting it again.

    Great post.
