Randy Pausch, author of the best seller The Last Lecture, gave a very inspiring lecture at the University of Virginia on time management. A computer science professor, there are definitely more famous time management gurus than him. But what makes this lecture special is the fact that this is a man dying of cancer, yet he is talking about time management.

Randy broke into the scene, so to speak, when he was asked to participate in the last lecture series at the Carnegie Mellon University. His last lecture was called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” Unlike other lecturers who was asked to pretend that the lecture is their last, Randy knew that he was living on borrowed time. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and given only 3-6 months of “good health”. His lecture was turned into a book.

Randy died on July 25, 2008. Be inspired and learn from this special man. Watch the
