Even though he had been dealt a death sentence through pancreatic cancer, "Last Lecture" author and video star Randy Pausch fought and embraced his destiny in one of the more inspirational stories over the last several years. Early today he lost the physical battle, as he died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 47.
The Randy Pausch story became an online phenomenon, as Pausch told the story of how he wasn't discouraged from the hand he was dealt, as it was how you handle the hand that is important, he said. Millions viewed the video, which I included below, where he gives what is called "The Last Lecture."
It talks about what someone would do if they knew it was the last lecture they would give. Pausch knew ... and did it! The rest is history.
Definitely set aside some time to listen to the video, as it's an extraordinary look into the mindset and courage of an extraordinary man.
