Randy Pausch - Last Lecture

From BBC Website:
"Randy Pausch, the university professor who created a "last lecture" celebrating life in the face of terminal cancer, has died aged 47.

The lecture entitled Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams became a best-selling book.

Video of the inspirational lecture also became a hit on the internet, where it was viewed by millions of people.

The US academic said that he had delivered the lecture as a guide for his three young children.

He died of pancreatic cancer at his home in Chesapeake, Virginia, said Jeffrey Zaslow, the Wall Street Journal writer who co-wrote the book The Last Lecture."
