When You Hit A Brick Wall

Randy Pausch, Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University is 47 years old and is dying from pancreatic cancer (see story here). He was invited by the University to give a Last Lecture. You can watch the full hour and 45 minutes lecture here. Below is a short report from the Wall Street Journal.

I haven't watched the full length video yet, my comment below was written after watching the WSJ report.

Obviously there is so much to think and feel about all of it, and I invite you to share with us. I just want to point out to his little bit about brick walls. Professor Pausch says the wall is there to stop the ones who don't really want it... The wall is just a test to see how far you going to go to get what you want... I definitely think this guy is an example of an accomplished man.
