Under a death sentence from pancreatic cancer, Dr. Pausch made his last months, his last year count for something. Wanting to leave all the fatherly advice for a life time to his young children he came to develop this “Last Lecture.” It is inspiring and a message to all to “ACT” on your dreams. Dr. Pausch’s message is that you can fulfill your childhood dreams and it is the way to happiness.

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.
