Last Lecture on Life

As I walk through libraries and study rooms during finals period, honestly at least 50% of the time people are watching something on YouTube or chatting on Gmail. I figured that if you're going to take a study break to watch something, you might as well watch something meaningful.

My mom sent me this video clip. It's the final lecture from, Randy Pausch, a computer science professor from Carnegie Mellon. But he's not retiring... he's dying from cancer. He only has a couple of months left so he gives one final lecture on life. It's a bit long, but it's amazing to hear his story and the lessons that he shares. It certainly puts things in perspective.
