Randy Pausch has moved on, taken by pancreatic cancer. It is impossible to say “after losing his struggle” or “after a battle with.” This was a man who tried every avenue to extend his life, but battle? How can you say that about a life with this much joy?
Randy Pausch has left a legacy larger than the video or the book. As creator of the Alice Project, educational software that teaches students computer programming in a 3D environment, he’s left an ongoing, growing gift to the world of education.
If you still haven’t seen Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture, take the time to honor his memory by watching it now. Or see it again. Send it to your friends. If you’d like to see more, his friend and colleague Dr. Gabriel Robins has a collection of videos on his site.
Take a moment to honor a remarkable man who, at 47, crammed more into his life than most people do in twice the time.
Pausch’s example makes me take a good look at what I’m doing and what I hope to do and pushes me to push beyond the limits I think I have. It reminds me to honor my friends, to laugh every day, to have fun, and to reach out a hand to help.
Are you living each day fully?
What will your legacy be?
