A couple of days ago my boss, Marc Tillett, recommended I watch this lecture by Randy Pausch. It is about an hour and half long so it took me a while to find the time, but I just finished it and must say I recommend it to EVERYONE! It was one of the best lectures I have ever heard!
I think that Randy’s story is getting pretty well known, but for those who don’t know, Randy is dying of pancreatic cancer and only has a couple of months left to give. Despite his condition, he is in great shape and really energetic as he gave his last lecture. He talks about his professional career and how he got where he is, some virtual reality and HCI (Human Computer Interaction) stuff, and then lastly give some great advice.
If you have the time, you should certainly watch this. If you don’t have the time, you owe it to yourself to find the time. Enjoy!!
