I watched it after reading an article in Glamour or People or some magazine. He's very, very inspirational.

He KNOWS he is dying in a few months and he enjoys his life to the fullest because we DON'T know when our time is up. NOT ONE OF US.

I will be purchasing his book, also title The Last Lecture.

Didn't see it.

I did see part of the lecture on the web several months ago. Visited his website. An incredible man. He would be remarkable if he didn't have a disease.

If interested, a simple search will locate more on him, including his website. An inspiration to all.

YouTube - Randy Pausch Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams


He is amazing , I have seen him on Oprah and I saw him last night Diane , I bawled my face off both times . The last line of his lecture put me over the edge .

I just read an article about him. The lecture has now become a book and is just now coming out.

He makes it very clear that the reason for his lecture was not really for the kids he was talking to, but for his very own kids. There is a picture on AOL of him, his wife and their 3 kids.

He says he never meant this to be a big media thing...he just wanted his kids to know what he was about, after he's gone. I heard the lecture and he is awesome.

Hugs and prayers!

Just went and checked AOL. The book is called "The Last Lecture", is put out by Hyperion and is $21.95...went in stores today. Definitely a must-buy for me!
