.......Randy Pausch?......

Question

has he changed your life or way of thinking since you've heard his speeches?

Answer 1

Indeed! HE brings out the innocence of childhood. I want that back... just to be happy and love life. That is awesome.

Answer 2

This is a really good question... he did have an affect on my life! I now consider myself a "Tigger", instead of an "Eeyore". There's too much to say about him, he was a true inspiration and I made a large donation for the pancreatic cancer research that is on his webpage. He was a very cool person, and I hope his family will learn to be happy again.  

Answer 3

well...yes...though im not the type that would get influence easily or even sit through an hour long lecture about life but when i first heard his lecture (only a part of it) i was compeled to finish the whole thing...he is the first and by far the most inpirational person i have heard of...he is a great man...a pity that he has passed away recently...a great lost to the world...

Answer 4

Jeffrey Zaslow, the co-author of the Last Lecture - The Book put it succinctly on Pausch's appeal.  We are all dying everyday, just the Randy had an acute awareness as to the number of days left to live and his focus was on how to live each day fully.  Anytime I'm feeling a little blue about something trivial, Randy reminds me of how much to appreciate and enjoy what life offers in the now.
