  • wow what a truely inspirational man. i hope one day his kids see how great their dad was... everytime i hear him speak i tear up. his possitive attitude is amazing and i look up to him fot that. RIP <3

  • this is for "sorryibrokethetrees"....sound­s like ur self esteem is a little low and the only way to make urself feel good is to put down a man like this that has done nothing but good things, no one thinks ur comments are funny and ur obviously a little bit insecure.....fuckin bitch

  • HAHAHA how pathetic!!!

    hahah he's a tool, a retard, a child !!

    HAHAHAHAHA

  • Truly inspirational 

  • Randy Pausch sensei arigatou <3

  • truly inspirational man

    r.i.p

  • I never stopped thinking of you Randy since I saw you for the first time on Oprah. You are my inspiration, it is such gift to be able to hear your wisdom and see your beautiful soul. You are the Angel who just landed on Earth to give a message to those who seek and lost and go back home to Heaven. Thank you for the Spirit you have left with us. Rest in peace my friend.

  • He made it to fathers day.

  • I cried as I watched this video. :')

  • @enahhhhh HHAHAHA really?

    Did you cry during three little pigs too?

    What about Bush's 9/11 speech?

    HAHAHAHA

  • my passion will be grounded in de people, not money or things! i will remember dis Prof.. thank u for ur words of wisdom

  • It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our death bed, it is the things we do not.

  • We all have to die someday.....if every person can acknowledge this fact....it will lead to a better life....

  • Dealth and Born is something that make people no way to understand.

    Yes, I wonder why people who do not want to live will live, while people who try to cherish his life will die. Why I feel extremely depressed about this?

  • @niihility

    You're not the only one. I see and read about people almost everyday who love and give, who are completely selfless, who are in love with life, yet they die. Not only that, they die painfully and tragically. I personally do not want to live long enough to see my parents and grandparents die. But I have to accept it. Life's a bitch.

  • so many other people that should die but hwy this guy

  • Does anyone know the song @ 1:24? 

  • Randy proves that hard work and a positive mental attitude is the key to happiness in life. Only you have the power to make something seem good or make something seem bad. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, but whether you choose to see it is up to you.

  • Rest in Peace, Randy. We miss you.

  • he died on my birthday, july 25

  • @cbarrett34 while someones dying, others borning. its compicated sitiuation...

  • This man is a legend, if I could be half the man he was I'd be proud

  • Dr.Pausch has inspired me and the whole world soo much he was a wonderful person intelligent . had a wonderful heart he is a true hero he will live forever !! everyone should read his book

  • What an inspirational man! He has left a mark on the world that won't be forgotten.

  • Comment removed

  • What are you talking about, he had a great life!

    If not for his illness, you would never have heard about him. He didn't just make this up, he was living like this and many other people are doing the same. That's the point.

    Living well is it's own reward.

    Death is a lottery, so live well.

  • @nyc999 death is a lottery?? WTF! you must buy into one of many organized religions that have absolutely no proof for their claims and say there is some kind of "heaven" awaiting your death..lol..if you educate yourself on religion, how little credibility the bible, quran, torah, etc has, then you will realize this is the only life we have, like it or not...as depressing as it is...i rather live in truth than delusion.

    But ignorance is bliss, as they say:) I'm just too educated and know better

  • @whole27 Clearly, you did not read or understand my comment properly. Such is the bliss of ignorance! Explain how his death was not a lottery?

    Randy Pausch was by all accounts a clean living, hard working person with no discernible vices, yet his life is cut short by an aggressive cancer. So my point is, given the lottery of life (and therefore death), we should live well in this life and that is the reward, not to wait for life in the next. Whether you believe in such a thing is irrelevant.

  • absolutely beautiful. Words of wisdom on passion so right on. His last lecture is a must see - he caught my attention all the way through the video. Very inspirational and powerful.

  • What makes you say that?

  • missing him...

  • good man

  • Gee, Randy was a true hero!

  • He's the kind of person we should all try to be. The world would be better for it.

  • From Dominican Republic: Let us learn about this... it is a great lesson.

  • he was a great man!!! so inspirational!!! i loved his book and his last lecture!!!

  • rest in peace.

  • He was a great speaker. A great man. Inspiration, no doubt.

  • "ID3rdid what the hell is wrong with all of u fucking assholes?

    show some god damn respect u fucking ignorant mother fuckers

    u guys are all fucking idiots. he is a great man. if u dont like him then dont view his fucking videos. theyre not meant for close minded ignorant fucks like u . shut the fuck up u pieces of shit. "

    Well said!

    They really aren't learning repect at school are they!

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you...

  • Life, dont talk to me about life.

  • "Sorry, did I say something wrong?" said Marvin, dragging himself on regardless. "Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God I'm so depressed. Here's another one of those self-satisfied doors. Life! Don't talk to me about life."

  • Truley inspirational.

  • some people just need to learn to shut up sometimes with all this crap and bad comments

    anyways :( he was so inspirational to me. I'm giving his speech for my English class. (:

  • God bless

  • Live in cyberspace Dr. Pausch. I'd call you Randy, but I never learned how not to respect.

  • In respect of Randy, his children and wife, we should "spam" any and all disrespectful comments towards him.

  • I know Jai personally. I doubt she would want that.

  • you don't have to believe me. Your call.

  • R.I.P He was a Genius!

  • thats a shame, his kids are so young. :( No one should have to leave their children that early. My heart really goes out to this family. so so sad i will never be able to be at peace with death

  • some people´s posts really have TABOO written all over them. Maybe he should have gone in a box and not breathe to heavily lest he remind people that unpleasant truth. we all die.

  • i just don´t get it. The guy is dying and he chooses to address people, basically a carpe diem chant. I think it´s inspirational and there´s no need to get creepy over his intentions or whether it´s cliche. I take it most people posting here are not dying, so maybe they don´t require that kind of morale boost. What are we gonna ask from that guy: "Hey yer dyin please don´t make a spectacle of it." Or Maybe the problem is that sharing that same fate no speeches would be required from us?

  • That is one of the dumbest comments I have ever read. What were you expecting to learn from him anyway?  He was giving an inspirational speech you retard. It's supposed to inspire people to do something positive with their lives not do it for them.

    Oh and by the way, you say that all the stuff in his speech won't do shit in real life, well it did something for him. He got what he wanted in his life and had no regrets.

  • sooo who is this guy???

  • He is not madonna, or someone famous, dont worry and live him alone

  • who is he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • I love how u just took my comment and made assumptions about me without even knowing who i am.I'm guessing ur next comment will have a yo mama joke or other ad hominem insults like every other youtube fucktard.And you still haven't answered my question. wtf were you expecting him to teach u? I mean shit, if ur so sure of urself, u don't need anyone to teach u anything.

  • Since ur so sure of urself why do u even need a "guideline" to success? what u said makes no sense at all. there's no such thing as a guideline to success.

    also, obviously to everyone else that saw this video,he was speaking at a graduation ceremony, hardly a place to talk about a "guideline" to success.

    And don't misquote me i never said the WHOLE youtube community were fucktards. i didn't assume anything about who u were i assumed what u were going to say based on ur previous comment to me.

  • Seriously, dude.

    If you want a guideline to success and you're at a graduation speech, I think you've taken the wrong venue!

    Get a book, dude. There's no shortage of idiots wanting to capitalise on peoples' desire for a concrete path to success.

  • te voy a talegear en la noche bestia inmunda!!! I wait yor answer

  • que es talegear.... ?????

  • Good point. But dude's already dead

  • i'm sure he wouldn't want people to think he was crazy.

  • Randy was an atheist who most of you would MOCK AND RIDICULE And THREATEN.

  • Thank you Randy x

  • What a remarkable man. Most people don't realize that they don't live forever. They may even die tomorrow or next year or next week. There's so many ways to die: choking, car accident, homicide, heart attack, etc. Every day might be your last. So you should live every day like it is your last.

  • you are a fucking idiot.. probably a nigger.

  • so touching

  • un excelente hombre... Dios lo tenga en su gloria...oremos por el....

  • Thanks for posting this. Randy is an inspiration and he has done a lot for people he never saw.

  • I made a typo, my profuse apologies, I meant your daughter and your sons.

  • Rest in Peace Randy, you are an inspiration to us all in life & in death. May Jai and your sons be well, as my heartfelt wishes go out to your family, your "Last Lecture" inspired me. Such a brilliant soul that you were Mr. Pausch, such a brilliant soul which you always will be.

  • randy,you are the best!!!an example of life!!!!i will remember you forever!!

  • hey asshole if you had a terminal illeness I think you would want people to know about your life, and the battle you just fought. So your just saying he should of just curled up in a ball and be deppresed

  • grazie per le tue parole Randy, la passione è la differenza fra essere vivi e sapere di esserlo...

    Thank you Randy for all your words...passion is the difference...to be alive or to know to be alive...

    Ciao from Italy

  • Beautiful.

  • Shows you how fantastic a person can be without worship of a deity. Wonderful man, wonderful legacy. All the best to his family. Glad we have YT so that we all can share this man's greatness. Live life to the fullest, follow your childhood dreams, because you only have one life to live, then you are history. It's always nice to leave this life having impacted so many people in a positive way. One of my favourite atheists is gone but we can celebrate having known him in some way.

  • Randy Pausch was my no means an atheist. Just a very reticent Christian. He did not mention God in his lectures or his books because he felt they were a personal matter.

  • by*

  • robbamania

    How do you know this to be true? Can you steer me to your source or did you know him personally?

  • I did not know him, but you can infer from his book that Christianity has been part of his life. His parents were christians, he talked with his minister etc. A reason for not mentioning religion is perhaps to appeal to all demographics - such as yourself.

    I think that if he were a true atheist, he would not have said "I will not talk about religion because it is a personal matter", and instead would have omitted that section of the lecture.

  • do you know that randy may be still alive today if all the natural treatments for cancer weren't supressed by the huge medical est.He talked about living a good life and all but when you see a world around you that is based on so much corruption,there's hard to see any hope.

  • he died in july.

  • His speech helped me to find my dream and ways to achieve my dream!

    Thanks!

  • why don't you just fuck off, randy pausch is amazing. he's so amazing, i can't believe he's dead, it's such a tragedy.

  • :( we miss you.

  • He was a very admirable man. Rest in peace; and my prayers go to his family.

  • Marianne762 after reading your comments, I hope you are happy with yourself. Dr. Paul was not looking to find fans as you mentioned neither to explain what it is happiness. He just shared how the way we think can influence the output of our live. From which he decided to enjoy his life regardless of his condition. Instead of complaining like you and be a bitter person within yourself and others. Please think before you write another bad comment. Just enjoy your life and respect others

  • Can't wait to see him in the new Star Trek movie.

  • No matter how much you achieve no matter how much you earn. And no matter how much you become "successful" in life. Death multiplies everything by zero. All that remains is the good we do to the creatures around us. One should strike a balance between ones wants and ones duties as a human being. It is death that finally convinced Randy to convince others. If it was not for death. man would be a want hungry animal. May God bless him in the next life.

  • Marianne, please tell your side of the story.  What would you offer to the table?

  • I disagree with your statement 'he is hardly a great man." What makes him great is that he continued to try to inspire people until the end. This is far more than your incorrect summation that his only "trick" was to meet death with dignity. He did that and much more. Also, you clearly disapprove of "happiness" since you want someone who gives advice on this topic to stick it. If someone helps make others happy, how is this harmful? Instead, you offer what? Misery?

  • you miserable bitch, get a clue, what are you arguing for? What can you possibly hope to achieve by insulting this mans memory?

  • you again! well i will repeat myself again, fuck you, for what noble cause is your cause?

  • exact he´s dying

  • Since you are so simple minded and such a miserable person, I will make the answer to your question very simple! He is great, because unlike you and myself, he went out and made a difference in peoples lives!! He did not have to share his private "last lecture", with the world, but he did! He inspired people in a way only a GREAT man could!!!!!

  • Because for all the people that have said the same "damn" stuff. This man has lived it, honestly means it.

  • Why so serious?

  • Amazing the hatred in this world... the have nots will always be bitter toward the haves... In the end, their hatred is self defeating. They have never accomplished a thing nor do they go out of their way to help others.. they simply bash others accomplishments and spew their venom. Pathetic really. God Bless Randy and his family. A great man who accomplished great things.

  • Thanks for making me see the light glocker9999, I didn't realize procreation was such a

    fundamental truth as you say it is (insert sarcasm here). Out of all the trash I see you post, I have yet to see a single valid argument, relevant point, or cohesive thought from you. Do you revel in your own stupidity outside of youtube? Or is this purely for your own entertainment? Mom must be so proud of what you've devolved into.

  • Man you people need to chill out. Those comments are from TROLLS trying to get an emotional reaction and they are doing a great job.

  • if it is indeed only him you hate then leave his wife and kids out of this, they have done absolutely nothing. you have insulted both the wife and the kids, which is wrong as you have no reason to do so.

  • glocker9999- yes maybe you hate Pausch for your own little reason, but what he has done in life and what he gave to others before he died was much greater than whatever it is you hated. no i do not worship this guy, but i have much respect for him for what he did before he died, and that's all. his speech gives comfort and confidence to others, and no matter what he did/is that caused you to say he goes to hell and his wife and kids go to hell, he was a good person. and leave his family out.

  • If the purpose in life for all people is to procreate, I suppose you think that basic resources are inexhaustible, too? If everyone procreates, eventually, our world population will become unmanageable to the degree's that China's already is (lack of clean drinking water or food, housing, disease vectors...all the stuff of misery). Not everyone should procreate...and you can take that as a suggestion, glocker9999, if I'm not already too late.

  • and you call him an a-hole for what? because of all the things he has done? all that he has accomplished? he didn't make those speeches for publicity, he made them for the people who he cared for, who he loved, and anyone else who would benefit from them. you were obviously not one of the people the speeches were meant for. he is not in hell, never will be, and neither will his wife and kids. by no means is he an a-hole, only those who are extremely hateful and stupid will say such things.

  • yes people like you, but not meaning that 'you' have any power at all. people who hate others for absolutely no logical reason whatsoever are those who have no common sense when judging others. all you know of Pausch is from what he has said in his speeches, and you merely hate him based on the fact that he had money, friends, family, a great childhood to go out with. if that is not your case, which might be the problem, it is no reason to hate this man. he lived a great life, but shortly.

  • glocker9999- why do you consistently spam this video with stupid, ignorant, and religiously infested bias against this man and the people who support him and believe in what he says? you hate non-christians so much? you hate athiests so much? you think that all non-christians are going to hell? you better look in the mirror to see what you have become, because it's not those people who you 'hate' that are going to hell when they die, it is the person with hate in their heart, deep inside.

  • people like glocker9999 are the reason so many bad things happen in the world. why can't people look at a great man like Pausch for who he is, and for what his legacy to many people is? it takes a brave man, a determined man, and a true man to stand up and talk about life during the face of his own death. people who listen to what Pausch says are people who can look up at the sky and believe that they can do anything. for some people, this may not be true, but for others, Pausch is an idol.

  • why are you all ranting on about whether he was an atheist or not? it doesnt matter, and really has nothing to do with this. he had an illness that his body wasnt able to get rid of. he was trying to make the most of what he had left by doing something he wanted to. stop being such ignorant fools and let everyone live their life the way they want. you have a right to your opinions and so does he.

  • Glocker9999 will disappear when we all ignore his profanity-laced rants and hate-filled, vile comments. He needs an audience to exist--like that ghostly alien in an old Star Trek TV episode that induced aggression in others on the Enterprise. The crew eventually got rid of it with laughter. Hey Glocker999: we see your lips moving but we don't hear a thing. HAAAAAA-HAAAAAAA....or how about.."hey, that's about as funny as a Glocker9999 in a submarine!!" HAAAA-HAAAA...now that's funny....

  • Just under $45,000 has been raised in Professor Randy Pausch's name for Pancreatic Cancer research!! LET'S KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING! You go to firstgiving daht calm forward slash randypausch and you can join the wave of inspiration. Let's do something PHENOMENAL for this man's legacy and really make an impact in researching this insipid disease!

  • God, just come out of the freakin' closet and because a more tolerable less tortured self! Mr. Pauch was an ideal a man like you could never comprehend. Go away!

  • Sooner an atheist than a hate-filled bigot

  • Mr Randy Pausch Inspired the whole world. Every child must watch this 'last lecture'. This last speech should be in high school books so every child can learn from this. It should be a law.

    May God rest him in peace.

  • My $0.02: I hope we can steer these comments back to the subject matter, which is commentary on this video of Dr. Pausch who bravely faced his mortality in an honorable fashion. There's no need for profanity, hateful, spiteful comments, or the waging of religious wars about whether Dr. Pausch was a Christian, athiest or whatever. This isn't the forum for that. No doubt, Glocker9999 and his kind will likely continue with their childish insults to reveal the pathetic little people they really are.

  • Well said.

  • if there is a "God" he would strike down all the people who were too dumb to understand that human beings are just lumps of meat. some with intelligence and some (examples given) without. What does it matter what made-up social control-group (religion) he believed in. all of these religous morons need to hug their bible and hope more people dont think. the south has plenty of room for all of them. the world needs more good people to talk about dreams and living life the way best one can.

  • glocker's a fuckin fag! pausch is an amazing person!

  • Glocker9999:

    Wow. That's quite a diatribe; I never mentioned you by name in my original post. Do you have Turets Syndrome? Just wondering if your excessive use of profanity is a result of a medical issue or you really are as ignorant as all your previous and future posts will no doubt sound. Your rants are devoid (means "empty", genius) of any coherent logic, analysis, and reason-just ignorant, uninformed opinion that we all really pretty much ignore (usually with laughter). Glock you, jerk.

  • I agree, Glocker is a sad, pathetic person. Wat kind of loser takes the time to go around spreading hateful garbage? If he is religious, he does not represent me, and I think Andy was a great man, and sadly some people can't stand greatness, because it makes them realize wat losers they are, and they choose to tear down the greatness, rather than raise themselves up

  • he is a wonderful man, a real man, it is so painful what he went throught, but he was brave, and he will always live in our hearts

    love you Randy

  • what the hell is wrong with all of u fucking assholes?

    show some god damn respect u fucking ignorant mother fuckers

    u guys are all fucking idiots. he is a great man. if u dont like him then dont view his fucking videos. theyre not meant for close minded ignorant fucks like u . shut the fuck up u pieces of shit.

  • i'm an atheist, but it's wrong to talk like that for people who do believe. larkat was simply being nice, you don't have to talk so harshly. she was being sympathetic towards his death, and this video pretty much is a tribute to him, so don't ruin this by commenting so idiotically. it's disrespectful. don't bring down other peoples' religions like that, even if you are an atheist like me. :P

    randy will be missed.

  • You seem to have some profound hate for ESTJs...

    You don't need counselling for that...you need counselling for your delusions that you're anywhere better than them...

    you suffering from some sort of grandeur mate?

  • rip

  • That must be the silliest thing I've ever read anyone say..... really.....

  • He was a presbytarian...

  • I've seen this video before, and others like it... and I'm in tears again. I knew (and he knew) he was going to die, but somehow I wanted to believe he'd beat the cancer. We lost a wonderful, wonderful man on 7/23/08

  • Randy, you amaze me, and I think of you almost everyday.

  • Wow, you are something.

  • Well I've already made four babies and I'm still around engaging in life. We may not agree on the purpose of life but I hope you find your purpose and enjoy life. I'm planning to enjoy what years I have left.

  • I can't believe that some of you egocentric people have turned this video commentary into a harsh diatribe about your twisted worldviews and your self-centered interests...geez, for crying out loud--GO BACK AND WATCH THE VIDEO LECTURE BY DR. PAUSCH.

  • Gloucester51, word.

  • he is one of the privileged then and a hero in my eyes, for standing up and just being happy despite his non believe in god. it is easy to die in peace thinking paradise awaits in the afterlife but quite another to know that this is all we have.

  • Christine, illness or an injury makes you humble, period. Revelation, epiphany, call it what you will, anyone is capable to articulate leaving this existence. The troubles that plagues our society is over consumption...this determines the have and the have not's. This is why there is division and lack of unity for the common good. Please address this through your exposure to the youth you dominate.

  • Rest in peace, Randy.

  • the purpose of life is to procreate.  ok>?

  • But it does matter. We all end up dead but our actions determine our relationships with people. If you come into this world and leave without making relationships then what is the purpose of your life.

  • Rest in peace, Randy. You were a personal hero of mine. The world has lost a truly great person.

  • Rest in Peace, you are a inspiration to myself.

  • To all the normal people: I am sorry for my slang and also for my comment if I disturbed someone, but I know cancer in family also too good and therefore freaked out....

  • This is one reason that people like you (and others in higher positions...) are responsible for giving a bad picture of your country in all over the world.

    Hope you will go down the toilet, not leaving even a shitmark

  • I intended to visit the states this autumn, but after reading your inhuman comments I have to understand that it is obviously true, that your country has lots of dumb folks as you can find nowhere else in the world.

  • Thank you for not coming to the United States of America. We do not need one more foreigner who doesn't have a clue. May God Bless you and Keep you, and open your eyes, mind, heart,and soul. Then perhaps one day you will see you are a mistake, but that God loves you anyway. Try to be loving and understanding like God. After all you have no right to Judge.

  • I'm from Hungary living in the U.S. ...and yes, you should watch your mouth. If you truly meant it, your apology accepted.

    Randy was a fantastic person and my simpathy goes yo his Wife and Children.

  • Glocker9999: If I would be like u, hence angry about my own poor existence, I give u the following advice: Enter next gun shop, bye a gun, point it to your head and put the finger on the trigger to make the world a better place without you bastard.

  • truly well said.
