getting a chance to watch this is a gift.

This man is spending his last precious hours on earth trying to inspire other people to become better people, that "self-indulgence" is actually unfiltered joy, whereas you expect him to mask his excitement. Whereas most people who find out they're terminally ill and have only a few months to live become bitter and depressed and refuse to cope with the reality, Dr. Pausch is worried about other people's happiness. In what twisted way does that make him a douche?

Randy Pausch's words are truly amazing. I love the his wisdom, humility, logic, character, and pure empathy for others mesh together to deliver such a beautiful message. Thank you for this.

WOW. I wish that I had his courage and his optimism. It will be something I will strive to use more often this coming year,
