The New York Times ran an article this week about Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor whose "last lecture" containing all the advice he wanted to pass on to his children, has become a media sensation. Pausch, who is dying of pancreatic cancer, is taking his unexpected celebrity to promote funding for pancreatic cancer research. He has also written a book of all the advice he want to pass to his children.
You can find the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/08/health/08well.html?ex=1365393600&en=dd3eec2a2c1d6a93&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink.
I missed the ABC special, but Pausch has certainly succeeded in getting people to talk about their dreams and fears. And he has created a lasting legacy for his children.
