Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture
On September 18, 2007, Randy Pausch stood up before a packed lecture hall and delivered what he termed 'The Last Lecture,' with hope, humor, smiles, and a biting realism that touched on the truths of dreaming, his dreams, the future of his children, and what he hoped to impart to them as touchstones for life. In doing so, he created an abiding memorial to the hard truths, as well as the methods of facing them head-on.
His cancer won, on July 25, 2008.

About Randy Pausch
Randolph Frederick "Randy" Pausch (October 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) was an American professor of computer science and human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pausch learned that he had a terminal case of pancreatic cancer in September 2006. He gave an upbeat lecture entitled "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" on September 18, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon, which became a popular YouTube video and led to other media appearances. He then co-authored a book called The Last Lecture on the same theme, which became a New York Times best-seller. Pausch died of complications from pancreatic cancer on July 25, 2008.
