never ever ever give up.

you may not have ever heard of randy pausch, but i hadn't either until recently. he was a professor at carnegie-mellon. he holds a PhD. he was an imagineer for disney. he's a husband. he's a father to 3 young children. he's 46 years old. he has pancreatic cancer, and he's dying.

i don't know if most of you have heard about his last lecture to more than 400 students packed into one hall, or what the wall street journal called "the lecture of a lifetime," but it is beautiful. at its least, the word inspiring comes to mind.

the whole 10+ part series can be found on youtube just by searching his name, but he recapped the lecture in 10 minutes on oprah and this is what i choose to share.







don't give up. ever.
