Hello,

I have written about this amazing man on my blog before. But seeing Professor Randy Pausch on a special epsiode of Primetime with Diane Sawyer [April 9, 2008] inspired me to write about him again. The more people that know about him, and share his message with people of all ages, the better.

It was amazing to "meet" his wife, his children and get more insight into this amazing man on last night's show. And for those of you not familiar with Randy, you need to be! A link to his (now famous) "The Last Lecture" should be sent to every employee in your company, of ANY generation.

Here is an overview about why he is inspiring so many people and being featured on shows like Primetime and Oprah, and why is "Last Lecture" has been downloaded over a million times on YouTube:

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch is dying from pancreatic cancer (and is married with 3 small children). He gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

This man is dying. He knows his time here is short yet his willingness to motivate and encourage people during this "surreal", personal, time is amazing.

I encourage you to share this link to his "Last Lecture" with anyone and everyone:
