Ruth commented on a previous Simplicity post with this remark:‘Slightly off topic, I thought about Simplicity Blog the other day after being recommended The Last Lecture from Randy Pausch, it's a pretty incredible video! Apologies if it's been posted before' http://www.etc.cmu.edu/global_news/?q=node/42
This man Randy Pausch is quite incredible. It is very long video and I hope you get the time to look at it – it is well worth setting aside the time
And thank you again Ruth for the link.

Trevor,
Yesterday I downloaded this video and I highly recommend it to all your readers. Be prepared--it's one hour, 44 minutes long, yet will go by quickly. What a moving way to pay tribute to someone--before they leave us, not after.
Need a reminder of what is really important in life? Watch this--hint at the answer--LIVING your best life.
Thanks Marilyn - it is heartwarming and a reminder about why and how we should enjoy every day we have. I like the way he does not seek sympathy - an amazing video and an amazing man.
Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture" stands as a profound testament to the human spirit's resilience and the importance of pursuing one's dreams. Delivered at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007, this lecture, titled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," transcended its academic setting to touch millions worldwide. Pausch, facing a terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis, chose to focus not on his impending death but on the lessons he had learned throughout his life, emphasizing perseverance, creativity, and the joy of living fully. His message resonates deeply, reminding us that while we cannot control the cards we're dealt, we can control how we play them. The lecture's enduring impact lies in its universal appeal, encouraging individuals to reflect on their own aspirations and the legacy they wish to leave behind.
