Dr. Randy Pausch and "The Last Lecture"


Recent celebrity deaths are occasion for some to reflect on how, for better or for worse, their lives influenced the world. Here is a lesser known celebrity who became famous for the way he left this life. Dr. Randy Pausch is remembered for a lecture he gave at Carnegie Mellon University, which has become known as "The Last Lecture."

Dr. Pausch died a year ago, but his passing and his great, final lecture are reminders to us that one's soul is the only thing one possesses, and its condition is the only thing that really matters.

The following is a shortened version of Dr. Pausch's lecture. The full lecture delivered at Carnegie Mellon University is here.
