I've seen the lecture and bought the book. The guy is amazing.

I feel like he is a different species than me, and that disappoints me. However, it is nice to at least watch someone else, who appears to deserve it, enjoy their life despite the worst of circumstances.

Great man for sure. I read his book and download his stuff from Itunes. I figured he must be at the end stages when they stopped updating his web page a few weeks ago.

Krazy,

Sounds like you have someone YOU respect....

"That disappoints me".....this is where you show your disrespect of yourself....

So instead of "WATCHING" him, why do you not try to emulate him???

Who says you can't have that outlook on life??

Who says YOU can't enjoy your life DESPITE your W's A???

not2fun

ps...I watched his lecture as well, and yes he had MANY lessons to teach us all.....

I've never been that type of person, although I wish I was. If I could throw a switch and make it so, I would.

I'm just hard-wired a different way.

I just realized who this was and was saddened to hear the news.

I learned of Randy Pausch after reading a review on his book. For anyone who is interested, you can watch his "last lecture" on YouTube (highly recommended).
