I had read before about this fellow. Sad story.
Brave on his part to try and help others while he was going thru so much suffering himself.

Saw some of his stuff. Seemed like the kind of professor who could get you interested in something you dind't originally care about because of his infectious enthusiasm. People like that are treasures.

RIP

Here's the "Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" - www.youtube.com

I guess it was his last lecture

Actually GM it was his second to last lecture.

He did another one at the UofVA I think on Time Management.

Great speaker with great ideas! I am sure he is resting comfortably.

bush's fault!!

oops, I mean,

Obama's fault!!

thats the new ticket

He had to be a liberal. No way a rethug could spread so much joy

The good die young

If you guys have never watched his whole 'last lecture' I highly recommend setting aside an hour or so and watch it. Let your children watch it too.

In this day of Religious and Political despotism, it is refreshing to hear someone who is bright, successful and funny, tell a great american success story.

I teared up at the end, when he told the audience that he wasn't making the lecture for them, he was making it for his children.
