The author of the best selling book "The Last Lecture," Randy Pausch died Fri July 18 after a two-year battle with cancer. Read the full story here.
Pausch inspired people to revisit childhood dreams and look closely at their priorities and relationships with their families. After watching the lecture, I wanted to go out and do as much as he did. All of a sudden, I wanted to be an astronaut, the president and maybe a pirate (if you knew me as a kid, you would understand). Tell me what Pausch inspired you to go after. |

"The Last Lecture" has inspired me to stop being the worrier that I have been in the past. I was the worst about worrying about the work that was involved in family get-togethers instead of focusing on the fun stuff. I won't be that person anymore. It's just not worth it.
