Randy Pausch Inspires Graduates

[@Reluctantwriter7]

He just gave us the secret to a happy relationship. You should probably not get married until you meet someone whose happiness is more important than yours. It's makes so much sense. Both parties should whole this sentiment as true. It will be the glue that keeps you together. Thank You Professor Pausch.

[@srinagarajan]

What a man! My heart reaches out to Randy's family ... To his kids: know that your dad inspired a million ... thank YOU! Proud to be a Carnegie Mellon alum ...

[@prowrestlingcountdown208]

My personal hero. My Obi-Wan Kenobi. It's a shame he was gone only 2 months later. A really genuine heart-felt good person who loved life.

[@Genius159]

"We don't beat the reaper by living longer, but by living well, and living fully - for the reaper will come for all of us. The question is: what do we do between the time we're born and the time he shows up. Because when he shows up, it’s too late to do all the things that you’re always gonna, kinda get around to.It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our death bed. It is the things we do not. " so inspiring~!!!

Quincylucy hey cute

[@pablogaldean8126]

After much torment and lament ... today this is what's important.

[@elibutton]

never get tired of watching this.

[@TwistedMind6969]

I always cry like a little girl when I listen to professor Randy Pausch.

[@stratomonster213]

Glad I found you Randy, RIP

[@winnieyan76]

I was one of the students sitting down there at the commencement ceremony.

[@tonopala]

how was he as a normal person? i mean, besides the lectures and the media atention?

[@winnieyan76]

Sorry, this was commencement of the whole university in May 2008. I was not in computer science department, so I had no chance to talk to him in person.

[@JoyStickJackGaming]

Awesome man, wish I could have met him.

[@LordGreystoke]

@@winnieyan76so, what are you doing with your life 7+ years later?

[@juliegonzaga6625]

It's 2022 thank you randy pausch for the inspiring message

[@Max14211]

i cant lie for all the bs there is on the internet the little moments i get to share with videos like this make everything else so worth it

[@chiliconcarne2006]

I stumbled upon Randy website by accident. I watched his last lecture at Carnegie, via Google video, and i was definitely inspired by his great speech. A great a example of a man who was taken too early, but still managed to live a longer life them most of us will ever dream about. God Bless Randy - Im inspired! University of Toronto Student

[@dashing4u1]

A remarkable man, with a wonderful outlook on life. We need more like him.

[@Chinmaysindkar2625]

You can chack out Sandeep Maheshwari Sir ♥️

[@elibutton]

still one of the best commencement speeches every. Be Brief, Be Brilliant, and Be Gone. He was brief, he's brilliant, and now he's gone. These grads should feel so fortunate to have had him speak at their commencement. So very lucky.

[@10rjsd1985]

RIP...so much respect for Mr. Pausch. Prayers and love to his family and friends.

[@stuartralston5059]

I love Randy Pausch but hadn't seen this speech until now. Great!

[@ericbauer4897]

This guy sums it up peefectly. An absolutely beautiful speech.

[@Brucefan60]

Rest In Peace Randy Pausch.

[@ru2cute4me]

I've read the Last Lecture and watched all his speeches. My mom has pancreatic cancer so I am well aware of his fight. He is teaching people not how to die but how to live life to the fullest. Inspirational man. Thank you Randy!

[@AndreaDecker16]

I feel deprived to have never met this man, and feel such pain to know someone like him has such a short time left. What a great human being! I have bought several books and his Last Lecture DVD to give to others. He is an inspiration and I feel the need to share his story with as many as I can. God bless you, Jai and your beautiful children. You will live on in many hearts. Aloha

[@iknowtospeak]

How are you doing Andrea?Are you well nowadays?

[@bulldoghockey27]

He doesn't "sound" inspiring, he IS inspiring. So many people are diagnosed with cancer. Some need inspiration to carry on and fight it. However, he serves as an inspiration to people like me who are perfectly healthy as well. I am so grateful that there are still people like Randy Pausch in this world to serve as a reminder of how beautiful life really is. It's a reminder that i'm fortunate enough to have a great life and that I should make the most of it every single day.

[@SeanSmith73]

Truly an inspiration, a great man. I hope he gets all the days he deserves.

[@yalaiponthai]

Still watching this in 2024 🙏🏼

[@ru2cute4me]

I'm sitting here applauding! Live every moment as if it were your last. One day it will be. BIG fan of Randy!!!

[@carwashking]

Rest In Peace Mr Pausch...You inspired millions, including myself

[@BryanWicks]

This never gets old. Dr. Pausch had it right. Quality of life is superior to quantity of life. Once you figure out what your passion is, pursue it fully while remembering that people are the greater investment than material things. God bless that man and his family.

[@Cromulus420]

It's sad to watch this video. He's much less vigorous than in his last lecture, you can see how much the disease has taken hold. Bless you Dr. Pausch, you left one hell of a mark on the world. You were braver than I could ever be in your position.

[@moraleslauralucia]

Still love this. I have watched it almost a few times a year since sophomore year of college. 🏆

[@jimh3768]

This is the only lecture that needs to be heard. The man was a true living Saint and is now a guardian angel to us all.

[@yellowrozeoftexas]

It's really nice to see that someone took Dr. Pausch's advice on apologizing appropriately. That just goes to show what an inspiration he is to everyone. RIP Randy. You will be missed, and remembered always as a guiding light for dreamers.

[@puppysfurme]

The world has lost a great, great man in Randy Pausch. Rest in Awesome, Randy.

[@harpito2007]

Rest in peace dear Doctor. You are one of the most inspiring persons I have read and watched... you have tought us that following our childhood dreams is something that requires courage... and sometimes other paths seem to be easier...but do not fulfill our souls the same. God bless you Randy. You are not alone :)

[@inhquochuynh6749]

Randy Pausch, my heros, thanks for what you did bring many inspirations to life.

[@bostonInk1]

Just finished reading the book The Last Lecture....wow....a story about a professor dying of cancer....with a wife and 3 young kids.....talking about childhood dreams...talking about living.....everyone needs to read this book...you will cry....you will be sad....but in the end you will be....Happy....Randy Pausch's story will make your life better...if you have kids let them dream....if you still have dreams...chase them....get over the wall!

[@knaparilla]

Everyone live,laugh,love, and love hard!!!! What an inspiration to mankind. He will be missed.

[@ItalianBeauty77]

I have no doubt that Dr. Pausch's example and words of wisdom about life and death have comforted the loved ones of many who have died, including those lost in Iraq. Randy Paushc didn't ask for this notarity; but used it to help others. All I have to say about ANYONE who expresses negative, hateful comments at this time of his death is that Karma will take care of them. Like Randy, I do believe in miracles and like he said,'there is good in everyone--just give them time.' God bless his family.

[@crimsonbutterflies]

Oh my God, he was so wise and full of comapssion, it is such a pity that you had to leave this world Dr Pausch, but then again you might have been an angel and God wanted you back. But you planted the seeds in our hearts and for that we will be ever thankful. Your time on earth might have been short but your legacy will live for ever. God bless your soul. THANK YOU.

[@roslimy]

Tears rolling down on my face.... What he said is absolutely correct and it takes someone like him to make all of us aware of the very fact of life....

[@JOBRAIL1]

Never met the guy, but, he will be missed by his children, his wife, family, friends, colleagues and me.

[@Alextate152]

May the love of Source be with you, Randy, and to your family. God speed...you have done us a great service by living a full, happy life. Enjoy the quickening of Spirit as you have enjoyed this life. You will be missed greatly, but you have imprinted us forever with your wonderful sense of style and character. God speed! Rev. Carolyn

[@garg654]

RIP DR. Randy Pausch. You've really inspired me in a way not many people have been able to.

[@velaudankutty]

Him and his wife - pure love. I like seeing stuff like these. Made my day.

[@Vistamister]

Randy, you are so down-to-earth when you speak, yet you always inspire. You deliver the kind of simple truths that won't dawn on us until much later: Finding that person whose happiness is more important than your own is what love is really about. It's a verb; it is the act of giving, sometimes sacrificing, but putting the needs of other(s) ahead of your own. Thank you for fighting your cancer while sharing whatever you can and want of this experience with the world.

[@alexemmerson58]

no one knows how much wisdom comes from so much suffering.

[@CanadiAnnie]

What a wonderful man. His experience has made me have a complete new outlook on my life. I have 2 chronic illnesses but they are not terminal by any means. I am 37. He sure has influenced my thinking, and it is now more positive than it ever has been. God Bless you Randy!

[@BoracayADMIRER]

So inspiring. R.I.P. Dr. Pausch

[@bostonInk1]

his book is a must read...sad....emotional....happy...uplifting.....all of those things will live forever....may his words inspire our young to go out and dream big.....

[@mydimle]

Rest in Peace Randy. Thank you for your intellectual inheritance and your efforts to give us what life so harshly taught you in your last steps. I could say that I admire you. You and your passion for life.

[@IVANPLLIMAPOARSBRA]

Nobody dies! I believe in this. And Randy was given a lesson - We don't have fell fear of "passage". And we have live with all passion possible in our lives! Peace and light of God in your heart & soul in eternety, Randy! Kss & Stars from Brazil.

[@tnekf94]

randy you have always inspired me with your speeches and lectures i will never forget you Michael Ahn from Canada

[@RickLongActor]

I just did 5 push-ups for you Randy! God Bless your soul and praying for your family as they grieve.

[@chrissaire]

he leaved a legacy about life...and that made him live his life well. I am very blessed that I came across his interview on abc and learned about him. He was...is...and will always be an inspiration.

[@dini16016]

thank you randy for all of your wisdom that you shared with others.you will be truely missed.

[@oduvanchikk]

i cant stop crying today. Rest in peace Randy, you will be missed by many.

[@LDis1]

Randy is indeed one of the finest human beings that we have seen.

[@WelcomeToOzzy]

Randy.. anywhere you are right now, i want you to know you have inspired me like no one else to achieve my dreams!! i will study hard and do my best, i will admire you always.

[@fingerpicker40]

Thank you, Professor Pausch--a teacher until the end, a teacher to your colleagues, your students, the millions out here in the virtual world you helped form and, most of all, to your family.

[@AlanKPet]

You are truly a doctor that helps other people. Thank you for making the world a better place and giving hope and inspiration to all of us.

[@brie015]

R.I.P, You've done so much for us. He will live forever, if we live our child hood dreams, and living well.

[@ChristosfanLauren]

Such a phenomenal man and a phenomenal speech. We need more men like Randy, may he rest in peace.

[@dindays]

you were such a great person, Randy..everyone will remember you always. The messages that you deliver to us just knocked the way how we have lived so far in this world..we really need to appreciate our lives more by doing every single thing at our best and not loosing our passion to do so before the party is over. Rest in Peace, Randy. I believe your kids and wife will be proud of you.

[@cyanideprince]

What a lovely message, short but oh so sweet. I'm so blessed to have heard this today. God bless him.

[@nurulainnajla9501]

I wish he will live longer. RIP Randy Pausch

[@Sarah-Gee]

I only discovered this man yesterday and what a man! 👏

[@Thinguns]

I don't know if many people could say those words and make them have such an impact on me. Great guy.

[@bulldoghockey27]

"I am so grateful that there are still people like Randy Pausch in this world...." Let it be known that I acknowledge he is no longer with us, but I am expressing how it is refreshing that in my time for my generation, that there are still people like Randy to inspire. I know he is gone now, but he most certainly made a difference in many lives, including mine.

[@FullbloomHydro]

Randy's lectures always draw such emotion from people.

[@letshavewhat1111]

May he rest in peace, he just taught me something.... His words really got me thinking.... may he rest in peace...

[@MoeKamalJr]

i am watching this from Cairo, Egypt at the moment and my Graduation is on august 18,....and all i can say is that Randy Pausch has inspired me and directed me toward my passion which is....Teaching at my university. God bless you Randy...and your famiy Mimo

[@kylekullin2520]

You should become a Hollywood director!

[@chickenkarma]

my throat hurts, I am holding back tears since I am watching this in class. What an incredible man. I as well wish I had his passion and drive. He truly is my idol.

[@MarkProjMgr]

The best way to honor a man such as this is to follow his advice! and he does have great advice! I followed my dreams, made mistakes and failed, but I to am at peace with them.. because I tried! My biggest regret is giving up on a dream.

[@beancloud]

you really are one of the best men i have ever heard of randy. god bless you and your family

[@dezsnickyw0581]

The guy still gives people hope even after years since his death! :)

[@MaleckinJinx]

Damn. And the world is going to lose a man of this caliber. Dr. Pausch, you will be missed by so many. But your words will be eternal.

[@stephonline15]

made me cry. He was so inspirational. He is now where he belongs with God. If you havent seen his last lecture please do it was just as inspiring, if not more so.

[@sterlthepearl1000]

I'll never forget how Randy taught me "Brick walls are there for a reason. It's to keep people who don't really want it."

[@jj2240]

Jai, my heart and prayers go out to you and the family. What an amazing person...

[@paulstimothy]

Much love and respect to his family. Randy was an inspiration to many and will live on through that wisdom such as this. Great man.

[@aarondmtz2178]

way to say it Dr. Pausch! it's so great to see someone totally at peace with the world around him... Our society seems to be so obsessed with things, material things.... It's wonderful to see someone saying that the most important "thing" is people!

[@kelaltieri]

He was such an inspirational man. His family must be so proud of the legacy he left.

[@Mbakiso]

Thank you Professor Randy Pausch

[@elibutton]

What a great person and story. So uplifting and inspiring.

[@DezzyRaY]

Well he accomplished what he wanted to get done. Those are gonna be the proudest kids in the world when they grow up hopefully they turn out half as good as their father was. Great man, great legacy. He got it... It's never about YOU it's about the ones you leave behind. Remembering that will keep ya honest. RIP Mr. Pausch

[@gaini]

Grande Randy, spero che tu ora abbia tutta la luce e la serenità che meriti; e grazie per la lezione! Great man, we hope that he can now reach the full light and big serenity as Randy deserves; many thanks forever for the very great lesson!

[@eerereps]

that kiss was LEGENDARY!

[@activelifecond]

Life changing. I still refer back to it when I am having a tough day.

[@chriszeng8]

Randy,you are a lengend!really appreciate your inspiration.God will take good care of you.God bless.

[@madamefoster23]

I stumbled upon his book the last lecture by error but im glad i did. he is an amazingly inspirational man who can give a valuable life lesson to any man. If u haven't seen his vid on the last lecture, you tube it and i'll warn you, have a box of tissues ready bc at some point, you reflect on your life and realize how much better you can make it. by doing some seemingly insignificant thing. In the end that thing, makes your life all the better. :) may his soul rest in peace.

[@QueenMichelle99]

I'm deeply saddened by the news. I was just checking his site the other day for updates & seen where he wasn't doing well but still holding onto hope.For Randy:You outlived the doctor's expectations & you saved many lives. Ill never forget the letter that man wrote to you. He wanted to commit suicide but decided not to, he realized that he took everything for granted, while you took nothing for granted. Long live your memory Randy, the inspiration you gave others, and the lives that you changed.

[@Don5049curtis]

Randy had more guts than than any man I ever met. May he rest in peace.

[@mceupc]

Life lessons to be learnt and remembered forever. Thanks Professor Randy Pausch!

[@msrjjon]

There is less goodness and greatness with you gone. Godspeed, Dr. Pausch.

[@SeeSawAway]

Their love is beautiful. Randy and Jai will always love eachother, forever.

[@fontaneous]

Having greatly touched the lives of us all, his mission through, he will be truly missed. I wish for peace to his family and loved ones.

[@boydman117]

what a hero... no matter who thinks differently

[@VictoriaisaDiamond]

Randy forever remembered, forever unforgotten!

[@kharmakomma]

My eyes gets teary every time I watch his speeches...

[@mattaki]

this is even better than his last lecture. at the end, he truly knew what was important.

[@MarcoAnders]

I like what Randy Pausch has to say, for the most part. What's there to disagree with? It's his life and he chose to live it the way he wanted. He's not telling anyone how to live rather sharing his experience with others. His message is simple and elegant and I admire him for keeping the hocus-pocus religious stuff out of it.

[@fish4tub]

as a junior faculty working in a university, I learned a lot from his last lecture and this speech... they changed my altitude. I realized what I should do in the rest of my life ...

[@CURLYMARK713]

I just can't believe the greatest guy like he was is gone. I'll remember it 4ever.
