Back in May, I wrote a post called \u201cA Final Farewell\u201d \u2013 One of My \u201cGood Cries\u201d<\/a>. It was about Dr. Randy Pausch, a college professor who was dying of pancreatic cancer. He had given a popular, inspiring lecture about living life to the full. <\/p>\n

I was sad to learn that he passed away on July 25th. If you haven\u2019t watched it already, you can see Randy Pausch\u2019s Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams <\/em>on YouTube. It\u2019s a little over an hour. He also wrote a book The Last Lecture<\/em> based on the same principles. <\/p>\n

My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
