  • This really inspires me. I'm 11, and honestly, I don't have any dreams yet, so this makes me thing, what do I want to do when I grow up? What will be my childhood dreams, that I'll accomplish? And it's really sad that Randy has passed away, but his knowledge, and his advice, can inspire people for a very long time. I have a feeling this will stay with me throughout my life. Thank you Randy Pausch, and may you rest in peace.

  • Like if your watching this in 2012!
