Professor Randy Pausch made a surprise return to Carnegie Mellon University to deliver an inspirational speech to the Class of 2008 at the Commencement ceremony on May 18, 2008.
Pausch was included in TIME Magazine's 2008 list of the world's 100 most influential people. His book, "The Last Lecture," co-written by Jeff Zaslow of the Wall Street Journal and based on Pausch's now-famous talk "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," is a New York Times #1 bestseller.

I knew a guy named Joe Wittwer who looks very much like Randy Pausch and has a very similar personality. They could be twins!
Joe Wittwer is a Christian pastor and teacher in Spokane Washington and claims to be full of the Holy Spirit which he claims is the basis of his love, purpose, and happiness, etc.
Randy did not make such claims yet Randy proves to me that Jesus is not necessary to live a wonderful life and to face death with grace. Randy proved to me that Joe's Jesus is irrelevant.
I stumbled upon Randy website by accident. I watched his last lecture at Carnegie, via Google video, and i was definitely inspired by his great speech. A great a example of a man who was taken too early, but still managed to live a longer life them most of us will ever dream about. God Bless Randy - Im inspired!

I totally agree with you, what Randy says is very true and touches your heart and soul; he truly inspired me and helped to easy the pain. Its Amazing how someone who is on the brink of leaving this life can give meaning to the life of those who left behind and cure their pain and suffering..
ChinleMiller, your reply will definitely help me in looking at things from another prospective.
