    They should make his story a movie and cast Jim Carey as Randy Pausch.

    it is a good lecture and it is life changing, just pay attention to every word he says. No matter the situation he was in he chose to change the lives of others.

    At one point, you actually forget that he is dying and you totally enjoy his every word and listen what he wants to say and teach. What an amazing man. Those who new him, consider yourself lucky. I feel lucky just to be able to listen to him after his death.
