[libraisha23]

This guy is amazing! Very inspirational, i like! But i wonder y is there ppl who dislike this video?

[Imredneck68]

ik your looking down at me right now writing this rip

[TasteoftheCity]

thanks mr. pausch, rest in peace..... wow im speechless.....im so0o0 inspired..... u made me realize how selfish ive been over da little things..... after watching this no way im nt gonna b a tiger.....loved it

[watchalookinathunh]

His main advice appears to be "have good parents". Doesn't help me much as I had abusive and narcissistic parents. My dad was in WW2 too but always booked leave time before an offensive to avoid injury. A six year party for that lazy coward.

The last lecture by prof. Pausch "Priceless"

[manisha8780]

awesome !! 

[clozetmonstr]

Great lecture. Very hard to follow the steps but it makes a lot of sense.

[nisargshah143]

Exceptional! I would like to say a big thank you to Lt Randy Pausch for sharing his vision! Many thanks to Silverbo 1t too for posting this video!

[starlightspring]

i cannot get over prof. pausch. he is a great inspiration. a great man!

[mgnprpprm]

Randy Pausch is probably the only person I have considered to be a true idol of mine. May he rest in peace and may his words live on.

[topdeeni]

simply inspirational....

[SilentSam69]

What an inspiration. I hope and pray that his family and children have the strength to deal with his passing, that he had for living. My heart and soul go out to them and to him. If we had people like that running countries, this would be a much better world to live in.

[burtininke]

wonderful!!! "if you live properly, the dreams will come to you" my biggest respect

[Kyle2themax]

Haha. I hope this atheist enjoyed life as much as he seemed to, because he certainly went to hell.

[CarrElizMack]

that was pretty cool, that last part where he said he made it for his kids choked me up at the end

[yazooii]

Much respect to this man. My father was also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, It is very hard to deal with for both parties and this lecture is an inspiration. I am going to show this video to my father :)

[lukeadventures]

To those who critise this man: Its about how you can life in order to reach happiness. Hes not trying to be a hero or gain praise.. he left the video for his kids. Lets get a reality check, if his motives in life were to step over others for money, he'd be a banker not a PhD advancing the state of human knowledge, so that you can enjoy all the innovations that we have today and which make our economy strong. Ignore his valuable advice if you choose, but youre only cheating yourself, no one else.

[chantmayer]

I really don't see where this guy is a jerk. He just explained for 10 minutes how not to be 1. He's alright in my book.

[mitchlhannah]

Jerk. This man is the second greatest hero among mankind, The first said, "That's one step for a man. One giant leap for mankind."

[Alexmcgruer3]

Perhaps he is third.

[Blasphy1337]

I knew the negative comments about this guy would come eventually.. He basically was an arrogant jerk who stomped all over people to get his way to the top. Then at the end he started spewing a bunch of Hallmark Card cliches and the Oprah crowd started to worship him. I'm sure it fed his massive ego until the very end.

[Jewelsdeb]

Wow you must be a child! yes a child or you would have enjoyed the insight. No ego. He was just saying live live to its best!

[manuelfelixx]

To all the ppl who insults this man is a stupid person I bet you that no one who has postes anything bad about him couldnt even 2 word of his speech so stop hating and get back to ur boring lifes filled with doubt and carppy jobs and stop hating on ppl who have money and phds and cant get on TV, ur nobody just another SSC number with a mac, And If u belive in God u know he doesnt approve this type of behavoir. Assholes. Have some respect and manners hes dead.

[AbbotFairplay]

You're right, if I see another carp, or have to smell fish guts another day, IM GONNA EXPLODE!!!!!

[v8power209]

the one calling people stupid cant spell...

[lauhawatana]

Khun Randy Paunch's speech will be benifitial to everyone who listen and here what he really left benind. Let's show to our kids to induce them to develop their childhood's dreams. Thanks to Randy and may he rest in peace with God.

[Gingerchik]

I really do love this speech

my chemistry teacher showed it to us a while backk

=]

[IFLNAJ93]

this man is so inspiring!

[sugarmay17]

Why must religion be judged on if in his entire lecture he didnt speak one word that has to do with God. His speach was of life a life that we were given in a way no one is truely sure of. But either way we all reach death but what we do with life and the time that is given to us is our decision. Religion was not born for those who are weak yet for those who want to believe and have faith. Thank you Dr. Randy Pausch for your words may you R.I.P. and may some of us learn from your example!!! :]

[mexytoosexy11]

I don't see where you have the right to pass any kind of judgement on him. have some respect.

[mexytoosexy11]

people please stop the crusades. this isn't the place for you to try and slam someone who is dead about his religioin. you obviously haven't learned anything from him because you're waisting your time leaving negative comments online instead of doing something usful. I've seen other documentaries about him and he does believe in GOD. Now how strong his faith was is between him and GOD

[koorbeel]

to suggest that this man deserved his death because he chose to live his life without god or religion says everything you need to know about the sorry subject.

religion is a crutch for those to weak to face life for what it really is.

[jude527]

BIKabballa - you seem like an intelligent person, but "self-obsessed/absorbed, conceited, throwing a pity party" dont seem like negative comments to you? I disagree & I DEFINITELY disagree about ANY of those terms applying to Dr Randy! His lecture is all about him because it was written for his KIDS to feel like they could get to know him & learn from his life lessons. That, & further attention to pancreatic cancer, is all he hoped to accomplish. And God DID bless him by allowing him to do that!

[fobbyme]

He made me a better person .. my girlfriend said so!

[polypath]

To BlKabballa-

Have you listened to the lecture and REALLY understood what the message is? Did you REALLY listen and digested every word? OR you merely jumped into your OWN conclusions without FULLY understanding? Now THAT's SELF-OBSSESSED! Stating your own opinions without proper interpretation and wisdom.

Pray that cancer will spare you-

[BIKabballa]

I will not discuss intellectual matters with someone who creates an account on the same day simply to argue with Me because they feel their perceived reality has been jolted, and his comfort zone threatened. Persist in your own folly.

[polypath]

Thank you- I opt NOT to discuss "intellectual" matters with someone who doesn't even know what he is talking about- using heavy but empty words. Life is too short- with or without cancer.

[jude527]

I'm saddened to see some nasty comments on here(Blkabballa - you say you believe in karma? Writing negative comments on youtube about an amazing(dead)man is sure to bring a lot of good to you). If you don't care about that, care about those of us who don't want to "hear" it! He touched and inspired SO many people to be a better person; so it's not all about him/he was not self-absorbed.If you can't see that, please just move along and don't comment at all. God Bless Randy Pausch and his family!

[BIKabballa]

So Jude, to reiterate my point, this man suffered from the all to American affliction, which is Self-Obsession. If he was as self absorbed and conceited throughout his entire earlier life as he demonstrates in this Last Lecture, than I would say yes, Karma was knocking on the door of his life saying 'Hey buddy, get over yourself!' When you really look at it, this whole thing is one Big Pity Party. If my noticing that makes you feel 'saddened', you may want to reevaluate your value system friend.

[BIKabballa]

And one final note. I am not certain, though I strongly suspect Mr. Pausch was an Athiest, as are most Marxist College Professors. They think they have it all figured out, and therefore can relegate GOD to the Dark Ages. As if The Lord is no longer in existence. You know, the whole pseudo-intellectual 'God Is Dead' tripe. But the very same dolts say it all came from the 'Big Bang'. Now that theory is certainly as much, if not more of a 'leap of faith' than ANY Religion on the face of the Earth!

[1cicek1]

just to let u kno positive w/o the negative always exists just like how the light exists w/o the dark....dark itself doesn't even exists

[mgacci]

I think his lecture is inspiring and reminds you to be thankful for your life and live in the moment...

[PietroGiovanni]

Im sure he made alot of money exploiting the fact that even when he claims he doesnt want to be an object of pitty, people actually sees him that way, wich in turn gets oprah to give him a huge bill for his lecture.

Nobody should need a dying guy going over his life to realize all that can be done in a lifetime.

[BIKabballa]

Well Pietro, for the most part I agree with the points you've made. I do find his story inspiring, yet at the same time he comes across as so self-obsessed that it's pathetic. Perhaps that's why Karma laid that Cancer on him in the first place. Yet another Cult-of-Personality flash in the pan. Could his dreams have included more noble things such as working towards world peace, and eliminating poverty disease and starvation?

[BIKabballa]

So the 'Headfake' is that he claims he doesn't want pity, but ends up getting pitied worldwide. So this half-baked drivel is the best people can aspire to in these days and times? Of course the College Campuses are havens for Atheism and Marxism, therefore it makes since that this tripe would appeal to such Godless people with empty lives and bankrupt souls. 'Tis a Pity! And Ms O can take her feminism Drama jump in a fvcking lake with Obama!

[PietroGiovanni]

I dont think Karma would lay cancer to balance this kind of person/dreams. We all could have the dream of universal justice and equity, but maybe thinking that way is too deep for this situation. I agree with the over-self-obsession, but the guy was dying, i guess hes entitled some ego. My point wasnt specifically about him. I just think the way he faces his upcoming death is as admirable as it is pathetic the way ppl feel guilty for being "worse" at living than what his lecture sais he was.

[BIKabballa]

You know what I think the reason people flocked to this 'Last Lecture' is because he didn't 'Look Sick'. For a person in such an advanced stage of cancer, he looked quite well. Fact is, people do not seem to want to be around anyone who looks ill in any way, much less watch/hear a lecture from them (baring a few very exclusive situations and unique people). If he looked like most other cancer patients towards the end, nothing would have come of any of this.

[BIKabballa]

And I do believe that karma can create cancer, or cure it. IMHO Think about the semantics there; self-absorption, obsession, consumption. Is that not an exact metaphor for the nature of cancer itself?

[polypath]

Karma can create cancer? Are you a scientist? Are you certified to say such an IGNORANT and SHALLOW comment? What about ALL the other self-absorbed, obsessed-compulsive folks who does NOT get cancer and seems like karma doesn't apply to them? How about all the corporate evils, criminals etc?

Instead of posting STUPID remarks-why don't you do YOUR part in improving the world and promoting PEACE and LOVE. There is so much misery in the world-what are you doing about it?

[ABAisSCIENCE]

BIKabballa he admits early in life 2 self-absorbed, acted like know-it-all, & rude 2 others. Conditioned 2B that way early in life will likely B it at end of life as we live in our early life & end of life as often we see clearest then. What he is pt-ing out is early life gives us our drive, our dreams, & our character & we should care about children's experiences most of all. He gave speech 2 tell his kids that hear he is lecturing which was what he did, but it was them he wanted 2 teach & love

[golitta]

hasshimuk you really are living in space...

[golitta]

HaashimUK my god u are so so dumb.living is space man?

[veroheigl]

Que dios lo tengo en su gloria

[jgreenwood08]

i hope that many many people take his speech and apply it to daily life.

[Dazwees]

Amazing Amazing!!!!

WOW, watching this makes me all fired up!!

This world is filled with incredible people like Randy. We all need to give our own messages and uplift those around us

[jalen2803]

This comment is for HAsshish, Badhabit or whatever his name is. You are a total ignoramus, a person not deserving to even listen to a person of Randy Pausch's intelligence. Whether Muslim, Cristian or Buddhist you will die and for your sake I hope it's sooner than later. That's why other ignoramuses like cbarret consider all muslims to be terrorists. Get your head out of your ass and use it for once!!!

[marcelluh]

THiS GUy WAS SO AMAMZiNG..LiKE HE MADE MEEH THiNK HARD JUSS FROM WATCHiNG!! n NOW HESz GONE..THE WORLD LOST A GREAT ONE..R.i.P. DR PAUSCH!!

[OurLadyOfTheInternet]

ASA Brethren! He Mocked God, which is why he's dead.

[Nomad1994]

Seriously, dude, don't bring God to this.

If u think dat people believe in God bcos they're scared, you're so wrong.

[TomaxBackwards]

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

[dagotf]

Gods speed Rest in peace

[Andiman2]

He learned the lessons well of:

Ductus exemplo----he lead by example.

We are all greatly rewarded by his reminder of how "We should CHOOSE", to live our lives, if we care about others and the greatness we all have within to be catalysts for change.

[Salazin]

This man lived a fuller, more beautiful life than most of us will even with his short time. By God, it sure shows how huge of an influence parents have on their children. Imagine how great his parents were.

[Zamael66]

R.I.P. Dr. Pausch. You've given us all a great message to live up to. Say hello to your mother and father in heaven, as God reserved a place for you.

[tony35usa]

you very good guy, thanks and god bless them.

[Nevrotika]

he passed on today...may he rest in peace, a fenomenal man and an inspiration to many

[gelle81]

has anyone seen this anywhere with subtitles that would really be great. danish would be best, but also english then i can translate it my self

[mjkcmj01]

Hi Randy, That was truly amazing. You will be an inspiration to all those who have come in contact with you and to those who have had the good fortune to share your video.

Life is such a gift and we very often do not appreciate its value.

Thank you for you courage and spirit.

Love to your kids and god bless.

[jalen2803]

[Mellybeans0919]

I as so moved by his speech today, I couldn't believe how positive and how much he was embracing the 'now' of life. Amazing. Inspiring. God bless him.

[pepsidaisy]

This is one of the most moving and heart wrenching speeches I have ever watched! EVERYONE should take a few minutes and watch this video. I want as many people as possible to see it, SO... I posted it on my FaceBook and MySpace pages. God Bless Dr. Pausch and his family!!

[ARich07001w]

God bless this man and his family that is so lucky to have him as their father and husband. I am going to watch this video everytime I need a pick me up..

[particlemaker]

AS A TIGGER - thank you Randy for your passion for accepting WHAT IS with courage and everlasting love for your kids and this generation!

[MementoExpose]

great lecture, bad audience

[hbcordero]

Great lecture, although he wrote it for his three young kids at first I know that everyone of us that have seen it, are going to be more than grateful for every word he said, and appreciate life as it is. Thanks Dr. Pausch, greetings from Costa Rica.

[funkykuffs]

God bless you and your family. I pray for you to stay and feel strong. I hope you and your family receive all you pray for. We are all going to die.We just don't know when.Doctor's are not God. All we can do is live today...tomorrow is not here yet... all we have is today... Hope you get stronger day by day...

[mariarodas]

very inspiring!

[SIBE07]

Thanks so much for sharing this on YouTube!

[mikecoolbreeze]

very inspiring

[BujinkanMartialArts]

Very inspiring, God bless them.

[CrazyGir34]

I agree With idrinkpepsialot

[LennySkull]

Awesome.

[prietone]

Thanks for sharing this remarkable way of looking at life and death...God bless Randy...and his family...

[texasmonkey65]

I feel this video is very inspiring, I will definitely look at it periodically, just to put myself in check.

[nicolelockwood]

I totally agree. I've watched this several times now and shown it to my friends too.

[MiyaJadecube]

First off, thanks for sharing! (I would have missed out) And I ditto what sykickg said...amazing~ It's not depressing, but rather strengthens my resolve to experience what this man has/is...If he can enjoy life in the face of death, why can't I with hopefully so many years ahead of me?! ^^

[sykickg]

I thought it was amazing

[xemb23]

this vid is depressing

[Silverbo1t]

I didnt find it depressing. I found it to be very inspiring. His talk isnt about death, its about life... and how to live to accomplish your dreams. Life is like this; we're all in a sailboat, and its not the wind that determines our destination in life, its the set of our sail. Most people complain about the blowing of the wind, and that does nothing. He understands that the wind blows on us all, and has set his sail of better thinking to live a happy life, and sharing this with others.

[gejopari]

I have to agree with xemb23. I find this depressing without feeling inspired. Perhaps it's a matter of the circumstances surrounding each of our lives that causes us to look at the same video and be affected so differently, but I felt fine before watching, and once it was over, I was thoroughly depressed.

[rodimu]

It is depressing that people die suddenly and tragically. Death also happens to young people. We all have to accept this fact. However, his speech was about life. Embracing life, enjoying life, fulfilling your dreams, showing gratitude. These things are definitely not depressing.

[gejopari]

I understand what his talk is about. I still find it extremely depressing. As per my previous post, the circumstances of Pausch's life are different from mine, and his talk only reinforces my conviction that I can never realize my childhood dreams.
