Putting life into perspective--The Last Lecture

I'm sure a lot of you have already seen this...but for me, yesterday after visiting HIS blog, I was reminded of where my perspective needed to be! I actually hate those slaps in the face...so parallel to the saying, "Misery loves company"...well the guilty also "loves" company :)

Even though the thought of death can be sad, I feel it is only for those of us left behind who mourn, because I believe the world we return to, if we have lived our life well and with goodness, is joyful and incredible beyond measure.

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch's lecture is uplifting and makes you think, he even makes you laugh, but at the end, he also makes you cry.

If you have 10 minutes...take the time to watch this if you haven't...this is his condensed version when he appeared on Oprah...


And if you have time to watch his ORIGINAL lecture, it's about an hour or so long...Here is what the person on You Tube wrote about it:
Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Hope all have a good Saturday!
