For anyone who doesn't know, Randy Pausch delivered a lecture at Carnegie Mellon that later became popularly known as "The Last Lecture." The lecture, which was delivered after he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and told he had only months to live, is the story of Mr. Pausch's life and the lessons he learned over the course of it.
There's a lot of useless junk that makes the Good Morning America/Oprah/Talk Show circuit and my fear is that Mr Pausch, who also made the rounds on all those shows, might get dismissed by many as just another new wave guru.
He's not. He's just a good man who has lived a happy, successful life and is trying to impart that wisdom to others. At only an hour long there isn't much I can think of that would be more worthy of your time.
