A CARNEGIE MELLON PROFESSOR WAS TOLD HE HAD 3 TO 6 MONTHS TO LIVE. One month later he walked into a packed auditorium. His name was Randy Pausch. He was 46 years old. He had terminal pancreatic cancer. He had three children under the age of 6. And he stood on that stage and gave the most joyful lecture ever recorded. He did not talk about dying. He did not talk about regret. He did not talk about the unfairness of what was happening to him. He talked about achieving childhood dreams. He did one-armed push-ups on stage to prove he was still strong. He made the audience laugh for 76 minutes straight. He said: "We cannot change the cards we are dealt. Just how we play the hand." The video hit 20 million views overnight. Oprah called. Congress called. He testified before the Senate about pancreatic cancer funding. He got a cameo in Star Trek because the director heard his story and personally invited him. He wrote a book that sold 5 million copies in 48 languages. He died 10 months after the lecture. He was 47 years old. The bridge connecting computer science and the arts at Carnegie Mellon is named after him. Because Randy Pausch spent his entire career connecting the two. Watch the lecture tonight. 4 minutes that will permanently change how you think about time. Bookmark this.
