The Last Lecture

An awe-inspiring lecture which I happened to come across on YouTube. This video was posted nearly 2 years ago. Prof. Randy Pausch was a teacher at Carnegie Mellon University. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he was told that his time was limited! His last lecture is a gem, because it puts the world into such a broader perspective. It makes your own troubles and sorrows seem miniscule in comparison. It teaches you about the value of each passing moment of your life, and the need to chase your dreams! This lecture, though short in duration, teaches you an incredible lesson on how to live your life to its fullest, and to be more each day. To hear such a heartfelt lecture from a seemingly incredible human being is truly touching, and his final confession regarding the true inspiration behind this lecture will bring you to the verge of tears! Watch it, for it is bound to speak to you, just as it did to me!
