A lesson in living
Maybe you’ve heard this story, but I hadn’t until Randy Pausch died yesterday. Pausch, a terminally ill professor and researcher in virtual reality computer programming at Carnegie Mellon University, became a YouTube star when his “last lecture” video was viewed by millions. Here is a very nice obituary story about Pausch from the Chicago Tribune.
The video is long, but worth every minute. I watched it with my eight-year-old daughter and she was not bored. That alone is a tribute to Pausch’s engaging teaching style. This is also a good reminder to value the teachers in your life. Check it out.
