Living Life - Randy Pausch
I’m sure you’ve heard of Randy Paush. He’s been featured on tv shows and the YouTube video of his going away speech has been making the rounds on the internet for a few months now. He was recently featured on 20/20 or one of those magazine shows and I was again reminded how touched I was when I first watched the video and let his message sink in.
The message is really simple. I wonder why more of us don’t realize it earlier. Most of us probably won’t get see life with the same clarity until we are given a death sentence. But while Randy Paush has been given that deadline, I think he’s been clear on his idea of how to live life long before he got the bad news.
Listen closely to his advice on being a parent to your kids and nurturing that sense wonder in them and maybe awaken it in ourselves.
I like finding inspirational messages like this because it reminds me to get off my lazy butt and start living life fully.
I love this speech. I’ve seen it a few times and each time I feel like I learn more and more. I do my best to apply the lessons he’s shown me to my own life and philosophies. Hopefully, by standing on the shoulders of giants - so to speak - like Randy Pausch, I can reach a higher degree of understanding.
hi Benny, yeah, tha’s what I’m hoping to do also, to follow giants such as Randy and maybe start living a more driven and purposeful life. I think I’m going to get his book too.
Thanks for the visit!
