Please go to YouTube and type in "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. It was the headline story in this Sunday's Parade magazine and it's definitely worth watching and listening to. Professor Pausch is 47 years old and has pancreatic cancer that is expected to kill him with-in the next few months.
It is a very moving and inspirational, as well as at times funny, lecture on not only how Professor Pausch has lived his life, is choosing to spend his last days here on earth but also has an important message on how WE should try to live each day.
Please watch and then feel free to comment here if you would like. I'm curious as to see if it impacted others as it did me.

He gave his "last lecture" back in September of 2007, and was supposed to only lives a couple more months. Well, that's almost 7 months ago now. He's still kicking. Let's hope he continues doing so for years to come despite the grim prognosis.
