Randy Pausch: The Last Lecture

I'd seen this several years ago via Digg.com, but reaslised after talking to several people recently who aren't quite as obsessed about the social web, that this hadn't quite got round the houses as it perhaps should. Watching it again, I think it's very much worth sharing still.

In short, Randy Pausch, a lecturer dying of cancer provides a (what was supposed to be a hypothetical, but literal for him) 'last lecture'. Nothing morbid is discussed for the squeamish out there, but what is covered is achieving your dreams, and life, work, relationships and the value people can bring to your life, with one neat little trick at the end.

Knowing when his time is up provided to Randy perhaps an insight that hopefully many of us will never have to experience, but this man certainly proves how we perhaps should be approaching our goals, life and every minute we have.

It's long, but worth every, single minute.
