Last Lecture

I just watched this video of Randy Pausch's Last Lecture at Carnegie Melon that's been on pretty heavy rotation on YouTube...it's a video of, as Kyle just said, "that professor who knew he was going to die," giving the last lecture of his career before he retired to complete his chemotherapy. As with any presentation of life's lessons learned, it drives home the kind of sentiment I feel is hokey if spoken out loud or written (regardless of how true or accurate I believe it to be); that there's so many wonderful things in this world to be seen, there's so much to be accomplished yet, and that there is so much to be learned from almost anyone you meet.

I play the cynic, but I am sincere when I say this: There is more to see! Than can ever be seen! More to do...than can ever be done...
