A Sad Day: Randy Pausch Has Died

July 25, 2008 · Filed Under Inside My Head, On The Horn 

CMU Professor Dr. Randy Pausch has died of complications suffered from his battle with pancreatic cancer. I was informed of Randy’s death via Twitter and as I write this, it’s a battle to hold back the tears. I can only hope that Randy’s death will further inspire positive change in the lives of many people he touched.

To reprise his ‘Final Lecture’, I am embedding it below for reference. I am grateful for the inspiration Randy has left us. Also, special thanks again to ABC News / Primetime for granting me the opportunity to thank Randy for his inspiration.

This is an opportunity to reflect about what it’s important in life, achieving your dreams and realizing your potential. I intend to do the same.
