Surprised that there is another one. Like Michael Jackson with his "This Is It" tour that he was about to do. We didn't know that "This Is It" would be his funeral. I saw Randy Pausch’s first video.

I don't know why and am so busy blogging I haven't had time to spend a frustrating morning with a techie. Therefore, I won't be able to watch these videos but will try to find the transcript on line. Thank you for posting an inspirational video and I know others will find it well worth the time to view. It takes forever to download a 4 minute video since I had to reinstall Windows.

In the case of this guy it was a true saying. @WWW - Some folk seem to think they will go on forever, they are in for a big disappointment! @Ramana - I have yet to read his book. @Cathy - It will be well worth the time.

I saw and read the transcripts of his speeches as well as read his book. Apart from the way he played his cards, the way his family did is another story by itself. One hell of a motivating character.

His was a terrible loss, but I am glad we have these videos to keep his lessons at hand. Pausch was a wonderful man; so wise.
