Dr. Randy Pausch has passed away this morning on July 25, 2008. He will be GREATLY missed but his words and teachings will live on FOREVER!
This is a video that everyone should see. For those of you who aren’t familiar with who Dr. Randy Pausch is, the short story goes like this:
He is a happily married man with three very young children. He spent years working for Disney as an Imagineer who helped them develop some of their theme park attractions. He then went on to teach at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania.
Abruptly, his life took a turn for the worse when he got cancer and fought it off after years of treatment. The cancer has since returned and has near-totally corupted several vital organs leaving him with mere months to live.
This video is his shortened speech on how not even death can bring this man down and how the dreams he sought to come true can inspire us all.
This video has changed my life and I will NEVER forget it. Will it do the same for you?
Please pass this video from the Oprah Winfrey Show on to anyone you feel takes life for granted or just pass it to someone who loves to live.

Thank you Dr. Randy Pausch. You taught me something valuable today….and I am grateful. May Allah bless you and welcome you in His Garden of Bliss.
A remarkable individual no doubt and wise beyond his years. His children and family are very fortunate to have the time that they had with him. I am sure that he is still sorely missed. May they find comfort in knowing that his legacy lives on and that he has inspired many who otherwise may have never ventured the thought, to reach out to others and follow their dreams. Excellent video, excellent message, a truly great man.
Very inspirational video. Allah bless and guide your soul.

I can’t go on after this.
I am going to kill myself.
Randy has inspired me to do it.
The man sure does have a point. Maybe he Is right. If he is, that means that someday, I will have made cannabis legal.
A task that seems impossible, but we are closer than ever on the other hand. I really hope he Is right.
made me cry

He’s the man.
This is sad… :[[
but still, he’s inevitably a blessed man…

Funny, how all you can do is mock me on my grammar.
Another example of your ignorance! Go back to elementary school. You may learn something.
You may want to work on your grammar. Not only are you making ignorant statements, you can’t even speak or spell correctly!
God bless you!
