Outstanding interview with Randy Pausch, CMU CS professor who was given 3-6 months to live. Take some time out to watch something inspirational - it will make you realize your potential and make you stop whining about the little things in life.

Thought I missed it...was on at ten her at ABC

glad I watched it.

What a man, what a family really, is all I can say. In a life where all of us at some point or another hide in shadows including Randy.....that man is about as real as it gets.

....tell the truth

Absolutely inspirational !!
One inspirational and couragiousman , teacher, husband and dad . We all can learn from his efforts

What a great tribute when his college prez said that " inspite of CM not having any BIG time athletics Walking into Randy's class was like going to the Superbowl" As a retired educator i must admit to having a tear in my eye watching that .
