Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch has pancreatic cancer and doesn’t expect to live much longer.

This is the video of his famous last lecture given talking about his life lessons learned.

I first saw Pausch on Oprah where he gave a changed slightly version of his last lecture. I listened to what he had to say and was very excited to see the lecture was on YouTube.

I just wish that people could make these speeches and become known on such a level without having the speaker facing death. Why does it take such things to get people to actually listen?
