This video is amazing, but i can not feel sorry for them becauseI dont know what its like to lose a love one.

My old teacher always said that "I can never feel sorry for those people because i dont know what its like". He also said "feeling sorry for someone is the worst thing you can do".
What do i have to say from what i have learnd from over the years is that Feeling sorry for yourself and other people feeling sorry for you is the worst encouargement you can ever get. Singend J.P

As a psychologist and fellow soul upon this earth, I felt deeply the incredible integrity & strength emanating from Dr. Randy. He is my role model.

the last two "head fakes" at the end made me cry...it seemed like the whole speech was pretty amazing...but not the emotional...but then when he said those two things..i felt like they really hit home...

honestly..Randy Pausch has to be one of the most inspiring humans ever to live. To think, that even after learning that he had only a certain period of time to live, he took it all in stride (more or less) and didn't do anything different with his life...he was totally happy with what he already had. I can only hope that i'll be that graceful and sinple about my own death...it makes me think...about (cheesy) the meaning of life...it seems as if he really did "live his life to the fullest".
