Tribute to Randy Pausch

]]> I’d been meaning to buy Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture book, just ordered from Amazon today, he was very much on my mind. I wondered how he was doing, visited his website, sad to see note posted yesterday that he was doing poorly, in hospice. Then the twitter notices came in. Randy Pausch died today.

Paying tribute to Randy Pausch!

August 2007 he was told he had 3-6 months to live, he made it to end of July 2008.

“We don’t beat the reaper by living longer. We beat the reaper by living well, and living fully, for the reaper will come for all of us. The question is what do we do between the time we are born and the time he shows up. Cause when he shows up it’s too late to do all the things that you’re always were kinda going to get around to.” Randy Pausch

Randy Pausch was very passionate about life, living his dreams, his relationships with others, his love for his family.

In honor of Randy Pausch I challenge each of you to live life to the fullest, not the leave the important stuff undone, to follow his example.

If you haven’t already seen these videos of Randy’s Last Lecture or his lecture on Time Management, they are well worth your time.

Living Your Dreams

No, I’m not dead, my computer did crash, not dead either, up and running, more on that later.

Spring break and Easter weekend. Spending some down time with the family, offline, beautiful outside, everything is in bloom. My husband isn’t sure that is a good thing as he suffers from allergies and my car has a yellow film on it from pollen.

But before I log off for the week I wanted to share a video I ran into online several months back, which is one of the best examples you will ever see about living your dreams and enabling others to live theirs.

Randy Pausch Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

A must watch! This Easter season, as we talk about life, remember part of life is living your life, living your dreams, enabling others to live theirs.
