The Last Lecture

On Sept. 18, 2007, only a month after doctors told him that he had three-to-six months to live following a recurrence of pancreatic cancer, Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, presented a lecture called "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" to a packed auditorium at Carnegie Mellon.

He shared his insights on finding the good in other people, working hard to overcome obstacles and living generously. "If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself," Pausch said. "The dreams will come to you."


The video appeared on countless websites and has been viewed by millions. Appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC's Good Morning America and the CBS Evening News followed.


A book version, "The Last Lecture" co-written by Jeff Zaslow of the Wall Street Journal (and a fellow Carnegie Mellon alumnus), became a best-seller.


Randy Pausch died at 47 on July 25th, 2008, he has inspired countless students in the classroom and others worldwide.
