I mentioned that people ought to take an hour out of there day, and watch the last lecture by the late Dr. Randy Pausch. I know not everyone has the time. Someone has put together as a music video, some highlights of the talk. So if you don’t have 60 minutes, you might want to take 5 minutes and watch this short music video by Eric Hutchinson’s with his song “Back To Where I Was”.

Image via WikipediaAs a college instructor, I always am interested in two things;

1. learning about how other’s have taught, and
2. what should I tell my students if I only had one last class.

Randy Pausch delivered the “Last Lecture” after he learned that he’d developed terminal pancreatic cancer.

I was able to take away some good teaching tips as he discussed his career, but I was also able to learn more about life.

Prof. Pausch passed away on Friday. If you’ve not had a chance to view the video of his last lecture, or read the book (which is like a longer version of the lecture), I’d recommend that you do so. Fulfill your dreams by living right, and help other’s full fill their dreams.

Below is the video from YouTube. I’d recommend it.
