Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
Carnegie Mellon University has a wonderful lecture series they invite professors to take part in - “If you had one last lecture to give before you die, what would it be”. Dr. Randy Paush’s chapter in this lecture series will melt your heart. Do yourself a favor and carve out 90 minutes and listen to this lecture. Some parts may be a bit technical, but stick with it, it is worth it.
Dr. Pausch is a Computer Science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. The remarkable men and women who take up the teaching profession rarely get the recognition they deserve. Dr. Pausch is gaining lots of publicity (ABC news, Wall Street Journal, CBS news, etc) due to his attitude regarding his recently diagnosed terminal cancer.
We all have a lot to learn from the humility, humor, and dreams of this man. Thank you Randy for sharing your life and passion with your kids at CMU (and to a lesser extent, UVA) over the years and the rest of us over the internet. I’m thankful that you found a home at CMU that allowed you to flourish and affect so many lives.
