I was extremely moved by Randy Pausch's final lecture. In fact, I was moved to tears as he so candidly spoke of his upcoming death; yet could not speak of his three children without tears welling up in his eyes.
I was moved by clarity. His strength and wisdom is humbling. A new-found appreciation and perspective on life followed my initial guilt at the selfish and shallow level on which I have been carelessly living. How dare I fuss and fret over nonsensical irritants. What right do I have to whine when this man refuses any sympathy on his behalf?
What a wake up call.
Have a look at his health update web page
