I watched the last lecture when it first came out. It was so inspirational to me even then.
As a very recently diagnosed stage 4 terminal cancer patient I hear what he’s saying totally differently today.
Randy wouldn’t see 50, I won’t see my 60th birthday. He has helped so many ppl by giving so much of himself at the end.
i wish u the best
hope you find peace
God bless you!
I wish you healthy days sir🙏
...and this is my widow. I cried when I heard that.
ASo did I my friend 😔
RIP. Such a pity that i know you after your death. ... you are such a great man.
I started crying at 2:24, I've been a Pausch fan from the begining, I can't imagine what his wife is going through right now. I have thought about her and the kids and have prayed for her. I know what its like to raise 3 babies alone, If anybody from the Pausch family sees this, please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers!
Thank you, Randy. I learned about you when you were still alive. I'm now a dad myself. You have been my voice of wisdom all these years.
The world needs more people like Professor Pausch.
i always literally cry when I see his last words... there's always hope in his mind... courage... a very good example of a father, a teacher and most importantly, a legacy maker!!!
What an inspiring human being!!!So sad he is not in this world anymore .Rest in peace dear professor!!🙏🙏🙏
You will be an inspiration for not only me but for the world. Rest in Peace my friend
His raw truth and honesty is inspiring. He was truly a special person with so much bravery. I read his blog up until he couldn’t write anymore, when the cancer completely took over his body and it’s heartbreaking. I listen to “Time Passages” by Al Stewart and it reminds me of him. I come back to his lectures to remind myself to spend whatever time I have on this earth, wisely. Thank you Randy Pausch for giving me this gift, to love and cherish my loved ones and to be bold, courageous and to live my truth. You’ve blessed my life and I’m so grateful for your legacy 💛
Randy you will forever be in our hearts and remain unforgotten!
Today, I received the news that my mother has Stage 4 lung cancer, and it will kill her. Due to various reasons, I haven't spent as much time with her, as I should have, these past 9 years. But since we've returned to the UK, we've been inseparable. Now I am with her and taking time off from everything to be with her and love her as she deserves. I will show this video to my mum, to encourage her. This is such a beautiful story about perseverance in the face of death, of our own mortality. *I had read the book years ago, and watched the videos, but it never became as real to me as it is now... losing my mum is going to be rough, but at least we can spend however long she has left, together, making each and every day count.
May your mother's last days be the greatest days she has ever lived . May you be able to make your mother feel the same way she has made you feel throughout your life. Or may miracle happens and you get to live a lot more time with your mother than you think you can. My best wishes. I love my mother so much that even the very thought of loosing her someday, however distant, makes me cry. I feel so sorry for you. God bless :)
Thank you to all those who reached out to me and my mum... she just mived into a rented apartment in greater London... busy unpacking and getting her all set up
chemo and radio are a no go... too weak and too risky... and imuno are ruled out
so just quality of life and pain management now... at least i am here with her...
thank you for the support and care... and God bless Randy and his family for this inspiring video..!
RIP Randy. You have inspired people all over the world. And I certainly had a different view in how fragile life is. My best wishes you Jai, and the kids.
I am glad to be directed to this site so that I can be inspired for the rest of my life as well as pass this on!! I am emotional over his speaches
Saw his "Last Lecture" from CMU and Time Management Lecture from UVA. Such a great human being. His teachings are gonna last forever. He did exactly the right thing and it created a huge impact on not just his students and colleagues or his family but the whole World.
If he would have been alive, I would have said him "Thank you for living the way you did and teaching us all how to".
Prof. Pausch, you were one of my biggest inspiration for me & for my family. I wish I had a dad like you. Rest in peace. Your priceless legacy will continue and never end.
Such an inspiration for me to stay on top of my goals and dreams. Thank you Professor Pausch.
My dad died of cancer 14 yrs ago and mom tells me that he wanted me to be an engineer and he even saved money for my studies. i dont have the fortune of having his video , but am sure he would have been the same like you professor. i graduated last year from an engineering college ...
Wow, this is what a real person of strength and character is all about. Long life and good health to your wife and children, and god bless to you sir.
You taught the world everything we didn’t know that we needed to know. Thank you
I still try to live my life by the way he laid things out. I grew up in a pretty rough place and struggled for years. One of the major turning points in my life came due to Randy Pausch and The Last Lecture he was still alive when I was fortunate enough to see this lecture. If you haven't had a chance, you should really take a watch. I suggest the 1 hour 44 minute version, it explains everything.
Randy sure has lifted me up. Eventho he has gone, the words of inspiration will never die. May is spirit and wisdom live on.
Beautiful post.
I have Randy's book in my Middle School Library. It drew me in & inspired me. What a legacy & a tribute he left for his wife and children...
Today's students require this kind of lecture more over this world require such great persons🥰 with such beautiful hearts
Randy is still missed in 2021 and will be for a long long time
I can never know the kind of courage & tenacity that Dr. Pausch posessed, to have the COURAGE, INTELLIGENCE & BRILLIANCE to leave such a lasting legacy for humanity. Yes, I know (and ADMIRE) that his lecture was for his kids....but he spoke to ALL of us. The world is a better place because of this amazing man! Rest In Peace, Dr. Pausch
Professor Pausch found a wonderful way to leave his legacy- to share his life's learnings. Such a precious gift from such a very special human being. Such humility and heartfelt sincerity.
I hope your lesson will live on in the way we all lead our lives. What a shame it would be otherwise...
Thank You, may your family be blessed
What a awesome human being.we all have a number to go,but so sad his had to come up .he had so much to offer in this life .🙏
he made me cry but whenever I get sad depressed I watched his advice or lecture all positive energy I want to read his book for sure.
i admire this guy so much, i feel bad about my trivial day 2 day problems then I see something like this and I just start crying. I wish ther were someway things like this could be averted my heart just goes out to his wife and kids and I wish there were more people on this earth that cherrished life as much as randy did.
You always will be in our memories then, now and forever, However i never met you. You inspire me every day...see you wherever you are
well said; from the bottom of our heatts.
what a guy...and what a message. so inspirational
What I can learn from his message is to live in the moment and enjoy every precious day I have with my family.
Randy, wherever you are! you are a BIG INSPIRATION for a lot of people! I hope that message keeps spreading as it is KNOW, dylan, logan and Chloe Your dad was a great human being and without knowing him, I know he loved you guys more than anything!!
A Sincere Thank You to Dr. Pausch. Your book inspired me to push myself beyond the "Brick Walls". With continued Inspiration, Yours Very Sincerely, JB.
This is too inspiring!! What a man!!
Very few people live even after thier death, and Randy you are ONE of them, hats off to you!!
Yeah, you obviously did not do ANY research about him if you think he was a jerk. His entire life was about wanting to help people achieve realize and achieve their own dreams.
Hard to believe that in 8 days this wonderful man will have been gone a year. And we are a MUCH darker world without him.
How to live your life….What a Man! Thank You Randy!!
Such a wonderful man!
Could listen to him for hours what a brave and inspirational man. Rest in peace you've left a mark on this earth my friend.
Powerful, another perspective in life!!! Hug and love your children.
Thank you, Randy . Legend will remember and continue to respect
Rest in peace Professor Randy Pausch.
Thanks for the tips and hope.
the last message he left to his kids was truly touching.I hope that they make thier father proud.
I am proud of this brave soul 😍
I don't think I've ever seen a more inspirational human being in my life....I sincerely hope that wherever he is that he is at peace and watching and loving his family. I learned so much from him and it saddens me that i never had the chance to meet him, as so did many. But I know that as long as we remember his message he will always be here watching and teaching us to live the best and most fulfilling life we can in our world
As a mom of 3 young kids, this man's story has affected me so much. Prayers for this man's soul and his family.
Dear Wall Street Journal, I would like to say, thank you, very much, to you, for putting in the time, energy and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube family. Have a lovely day, Wall Street Journal.
Life is not about what we can accumilate as we get to keep nothing, it is about what we give away everyday to those we love and more importantly to those we find it hard to love, Randy gave all that he could to all those he loved and to many he never knew.
We find the meaning of life when we live for a reason that is greater than our self.
wow. wiping tears. i hope to teach these lessons, to lead these lessons in my life.
thank you randy.
so amazin, i couldnt hold my tears in the end, i am sure your kids will be proud of u in the future Randy Paursch, even me 1000 miles away from your class got inspired, thanks for the last lecture,
So beautiful. This man is powerful
By far, THE most moving UA-cam I"ve ever seen , EVER.
i Still cry every time i watch his Lecture, which is big, because i don't cry to often.
Absolutely amazing man ❤️ God bless you Randy rest in peace.
I have been enthralled with this man since I first heard of him appearing on Oprah to reprise his "Final Lecture" speech to his students. I have since watched as much as I can to learn in his words what has insipred him in his life - he has moved me greatly.
Oh god that last part is so hard to watch..it made me cry just thinking about his kids and how they will watch that exact video someday..
What an amazing person!! We can all learn from him. May we never forget him!
Mr. Pausch was given an opportunity to exit this world on his own terms AND leave a legacy -- and he seized it. Well done, sir!
Hi Wall Street Journal =)
Thank you for taking the time and effort to both share and upload this video with youtube family. I hope you have a nice day!
Randy,how I wish I could be your student.Your behaviour has really inspired a Chinese student.I will work hard.Thank you.Thank you so much.
i read his book... EVERYONE should read it.. gift it... if one truly takes in what this amazing man says in the book.. it can truly change your perspective on life.. RIP ...a wonderful person
I had heard about the The Last Lecture but did not see it or read about it until I read Cpt Sullenberger's amazing book, Highest Duty. He co-authored it with Jeff Zaslow.
Consequently, I purchased the The Last Lecture and Randy's story moved me to tears. God Bless Jai, Chloe, Logan and Dylan.
Randy, even though I never met you in person, thanks for being an inspiration...
Rest in Eternal Peace, my Friend...
I had his Last Lecture on replay. It got me through tough times in University
Father's day has gone but I really want to wish you a happy father's day out there, Randy. You are the greatest father I know. Goodluck to your children and your wife too. They are lucky to have you ;)
He has a greatruly manner to deliver his message to the audience
Amituofu to Randy and his family. i saw his speech by accident last night. The last thing he mention at his speech catch my most attention. He said " do the right thing, and let karma take care of the rest, and dreams will come to you." i am a Buddaism. Buddaism is an education and not a religion at all. My english is not very good, but i wish i can help this man in all kinds of way, and also the rest of all others people who saw his speech. It is such a very big lost for all sentient being to
Tears.. Just so inspiring.. heartbreaking.. rip Randy xx
Such a tragic end to a brilliant life ... similar to Steve Jobs' last lecture, Randy has shown to the world what it feels like when "one is at the doorstep of death but can still remain positive" 🙏🏻 ... Has something been done about pancreatic cancer or lung cancer or Parkinson's/Alzheimer's too for that matter ... the answer after 16 yrs I'd this lecture sadly still remains NO.
What a great Man! God Bless you!
He made me cry! :'s
How sad his death was for his students, and how hard it must be for his wife. However, this was an extraordinary person, and I susprect she is extrodinary as well. I share Randy's vocation as an engineer, and wish that I had have been fortunate enough to attend one of his lectures. I have seen his last lecture and I often use humor in mine to keep the audience engaged. I hope his kids make him very proud.
i've been in that kind of situation were
you're told you may die. But not you will
die... truly amazing person
The world lost an amazing hero yet his legacy can be found all over. Blessings.
To live in the hearts and minds of those that you have left behind - is to never die!!!
great guy with a big heart
We are all dying. While Randy was speaking these words, thousands of other people actually died. The difference was that he knew when he was going to die approximately. Having said that, rather than sit on his hands and bitch about it, he actually did something about it. What an incredibly brave man and from what I saw in his previous youtubes, he actually had a really positive slant on life in that he saw that material gain was much less important than personal achievements and following your passion was the ultimate goal in life. What an amazing inspiration he was.
thank you man . All credit to my parents for what iam today .
RIP Professor.... You are an inspiration...
i have read his book 3 times and cried in all three :')
he was inspirational i live in pittsburgh they showed us his speech in school
wow, that comment made me cry. haven't cried in months..
Wow, this man is a Hero
this guy stayed so strong to the end........awesome stuff
what a wonderful man and dad! RIP 💙
RIP Randy you were a great man and inspiration to many.
R.I.P Randy.
Best wishes to Jai & ur 3 kids. So proud of them to have u in their life.
he became an accidental celebrity.....but you can see that hes that teacher you liked the most in high school or college, hes the best boss you ever had, it wouldnt have mattered if Randy hadnt done the Last Lecture because those people around him would never forget him, and CMU would honour him for his contribution. I know im thankful that i saw the Last Lecture, even if it was on youtube. I thank God for sharing Randy with us. Rest in Peace Randy, thank YOU
I respect you man, deeply
I admire his wisdom!..He´s a great man!!..
What an Inspiration this Guy is!
The love inside comes out for the family! The love he inspires for hes sons and wife, the love,the love ... is all that matters, cause after all, life is celebrating through love!
Simply inspirational. Rest in peace, and god bless you.
RIP Professor Pausch. You are an inspiration for us all.
wow, I will love this video for ever. My family and myself have a genetic marker for cancer, grandparents, & father died from it. Sister beat it (double mastectomy). Brother working on beating it with colon cancer 60.40 against. Randy;s last lecture and this farewell wow.
Thinking about his wife and his children left behind and grieving, I feel so bad. Hope they live a good life and go on
You just made me seem so little as I suffer from chronic pain that most likely won't like me I am going to God willing turn 60 this year. I don't think I have ever met anyone like you, but I believe that you are in Heaven designing fun rides for all of us when we arrive and I hope I get to meet you and tell you that you made me a better person today. I will watch your video the next time I have a bad night. See you someday over the rainbow!
hats of to u , surrender to his thoughts
Thank you so much Sir. Actually part of my protocol is Gerson therapy..Coffee enema and carrot juice.Here in the Philippines, many people are starting to be aware of this treatment. God bless.
ge wont be forgotten in a hurry, an inspirational man.....
