Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture

This is one of the few Youtube videos that I would recommend spending 76 mins to watch. Randy Pausch gave this lecture at Carnegie Melon University on 18th September 2007, and passed on 25th July 2008.

Watching the lecture, I realised that facing death really brings a person back into focus on the things that really matter. Have you ever read "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom? It's a fantastic example of the lessons learnt from dying people. Facing death gives people a fresh perspective, a clearer view of what  really matters in life.

And actually, it's all about personal fulfillment! Making sure that you have fulfilled your life's goals or at least made a valid attempt at them, having absolutely no regrets left before passing on.

Yes, I'm only 26. Dying of old age will probably take quite a while, but hey, there are so many other things that can kill you! So why wait for it?

Enjoy the video clip! Make your life count for something now!
