RANDY PAUSCH
It almost seems symbolic, that as my family and I sailed into the sunset on July 25, for our adventure, Randy Pausch, a man that truly inspired me (see previous blog), left on his own journey into the afterlife.
The fragility of life reminds me to never take for granted the daily opportunity that is the gift of life, or put off until tomorrow the things I can, and should, do today.
My sincerest and deepest condolences are with his wife Jai, his children, his family, and many loving friends. Although he is gone from this world, I believe his words of encouragement and wisdom will live on in those he touched.
Randy's book, The Last Lecture, is his legacy, left behind to enrich the lives of others the way he strived to enrich his own. "The Last Lecture" reminds me what's really important in life, and how simple things: courage, simplicity and good humor can make this world a better place.
