Blog Post: Lessons From a Dying Man

I suppose the purpose for a blog is to provide the blogger an opportunity to opine, teach, and deliver information. And sometimes it can simply be a pipeline to share with others, something the blogger finds inspiring - and something that has nothing at all to do with the blogger. This is one of those times.

Every once in a while in the midst of junk emails, useless spam, silly photos, and moronic chain-letteresque “forward this to everyone you know so some child in (fill in your third-world nation of choice) can have a kidney replaced because one was stolen from her in the middle of the night…” emails, comes a real gem.

Something inspiring.

Something that will stop and make you think.

Something that, perhaps, will change your day… or maybe your life.

This, I believe, is one of those videos.

It’s only about eleven minutes long. Do yourself a favor and click on the link.

 

If that does not work here is the full link so you can cut and paste to your browser:

I am not going to add anything to this other than to suggest the lessons in this lecture can easily be carried forward to your job search, your job, your life.

You can learn more about Randy Pausch at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch.

If you are inspired by this too, pass it on.
