This following speech has left me breathless. it is not because it is about magic, it is only the sincerity and the lesson you can learn from a dying man that adapts to whatever he has (a cancer in this case) and makes the most of it.
This man is Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008), almost one year that he has died now, and he was an American professor of computer science and human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2006, he got diagnosed with a pancreatic cancer and to deal with it he decided to give people a Last Lecture before he would pass away. The lecture is more than 1 hour long but you have the most important just down below.
I have seen many people giving up, being depressed, not trying anything. And you know, most people have to endure the same things, sometimes more than others of course. The difference between them is how they take it and how they let people or situations influence them. I do not want to give any lesson, I just want to give the opportunity to watch how Randy Pausch dealt with his disease in such a wonderful way. Congratulations !
Before he died, Randy Pausch wrote a book, that became a best-seller, if you want to know more about this : http://www.thelastlecture.com/
