Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

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.

I've you haven't watched it - you're welcome - I'm not spoiling the end - Only so much, Randy had cancer and only a few months to live when he gave that truly "last" lecture of his.

My biggest lesson? When he introduced the second head fake at the very end of his presentation. Trust me, as a father, it is worth watching beginning to end at least once.
