Something I suggest everyone watches
 

I haven't heard of this guy, but I trust your judgment so I will endeavor to set aside time to watch this soon hopefully.

I hope you enjoy it! Also, thanks, haha. ;)

It's a long watch for sure, but he outlines a lot of really good advice and things about life in general I think everyone can benefit from. Took a lot away from it myself.

Well thank you for sharing it! I'll post my opinion as soon as I see it.

What's it about?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Pausch - For details.

In short, he's a accomplished professor that is dying, he'll pass on soon due to pancreatic cancer.

So he did what is called the "Last Lecture" a lecture where you compose what you'd pass on to everyone if you were about to die. In his case, it's true.

Some people don't like this kind of stuff, but I think he really passed on a lot of good advice/wisdom/whatever you want to call it.

I just watched this, and thought it was absolutely brilliant. All the stuff he outlines in this lecture seem so simple and effective.
In the video, he really seems like a passionate and fun loving person, and made the lecture, despite it's length, a really joyful, intelligent, thought provoking and funny 76 minutes.
I'm definitely going to take away a bit of advice from this lecture, because it seems like such wise advice.
Thanks for posting this.

Glad you enjoyed it Ben! :)
