We haven’t had this conversation in a good year or so. However the last week has brought up a lot of things we haven’t talked about in a good year or so. When you stare cancer in the face it changes your perspective. And these conversations take on a whole new meaning.

But… What if you did know how long you had to live?

Randy Pausch in a way did. He had pancreatic cancer & was given 3-6 months to live. The following video is his last lecture he gave to his students and staff at Carnegie Mellon. The lecture found it’s way on to YouTube, where it’s been viewed over 3.3 million times. Here is the description from the youtube video…

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Randy Pausch passed today. May he rest in peace.

I’d like to thank Jonathan Paston for the heads up. I read about it today day on his blog… 2 Months To Live. Thanks dude. Here’s the video.
