Randy Pausch, the creator behind the now famous Last Lecture passed away last Friday 25 July 2008 after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer. After reading more about Randy when Belinda first mentioned it a few months ago – I’ve come to realise that he was a very unique individual who was respected across many different disiplines.

I’ve included the video of his Last Lecture, about achieving your childhood dreams. It goes for a little over an hour, however I would recommend that it is time well spent. Throughout the video, Randy offers some excellent advice that all of us could apply to our lives to improve it and those around us.
