Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
Up from the Hub archives. Originally published 2007
Randy Pausch is a Computer Science professor at Carnegie Mellon University that is battling pancreatic cancer. The lecture is absolutely loaded with great advice. Here is just a sample of the wisdom...
“Most of what we learn, we learn indirectly.”
“Brick walls are there for reasons… to see how badly you want something… to stop other people.”
“Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you.”
“Ignore everything they say and pay attention to what they do.”
“When you do the right things, good things have a way of happening.”

"To do great things is difficult; but to command great things is more difficult."
