On Friday 25th July 2008 Randy Pausch passed away.

Randy Pausch became infamous for his Last Lecture” speech which was actually called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”, and went on to becoming a massive viral phenomenon. Randy was also invited as a guest on many TV shows, namely Oprah.

Make the time to do the things that matter the most. Love those around you and do not take them for granted. Get busy LIVING your life instead of just trying to survive life. Always strive to live your life with a sense of purpose and passion.

One of my favorite lines comes from the film The Shawshank Redemption

“Gotta get busy living or get busy dying.”

Do you live for the moment and cherish each breathing moment you have?

Take time out to enjoy your life, your existence and your loved ones. Don’t take your life for granted because we may not consciously think it but we are do have a fragile existence.

Live Life Abundantly!

Thank you Randy Pausch and family.

I also posted a tribute message to this amazing human being on my own blog, Opportunity’s Knocking. I’m pleased to see so many of us sending out information about this man who personified what is possible for us as human beings. Since we all reach different audiences, perhaps eventually, everyone will know about him.

Thanks.

Hi DeBorah,

How many people would share so much of their personal life with others to give back so much in his “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”.

So much inspiration for everyone he touched. I’m not even that sad because of the great work Randy did. Just sad he is not here to give us more and live more for his family.

He will NEVER be forgotten as his legacy lives on!

I love your article on your blog too.

Take good care,

Nancy Redford
