Very admirable way of going...

[MisterJackson]

He should have Rick Rolled everyone

 

[Tobolo]

Wow.

That is something you just don't see often.

 

[cheezy321]

reading that gave me chills

 

[ShotgunSteven]

I will watch it when I get home tomorrow. I thought they were showing the lecture on television tonight, I didn't realize it was a current interview with him.

 

[KK]

Is he still alive?

 

[SketchMaster]

Marked for home.

[Skunkwourk]

worth watching...

I'm glad I watched it tonight because I found out about the Diane Sawyer/ABC special on tonight at 10PM.

Here is a shortened reprise of his final lecture (about 12 mins)

And here's the entire 1 hour 16 minute lecture "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams".

anyone watch the Diane Sawyer interview with Randy tonight? the guy is incredible, and even that word doesn't justly describe him.

you could see a bit more gauntness in his face now, but he has lived quite a few months beyond his docs dire prediction.

 

[TreyRandom]

marked.

 

[Baked]

Damn, when they brought out that cake and they sang happy birthday to Randy's wife, I totally had tears in my eyes.

 

[Ryan]

Wow - what a courageous man, I admire his ability to not loose sight of what makes us happy. Amazing video, I don't care if I'm going to be sleepy as fuck at work, was worth it.

His book was just released this week and it's already the top seller on Amazon. Should be a good read:thumbsup:

I hope he is making bank off the book, and not sure if his speaking engagements are free but I would hope he can bank some off those for a trust fund for his kids.

Yes I watched it. I hope for the sake of his children everyone respects the Pausch's decision to not tell them about his condition until it is absolutely necessary for them to know.
