 Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor who became a YouTube phenomenon with his "Last Lecture," died Friday of complications from
pancreatic cancer. He was 47. He died at his home in southern Virginia.
Pausch told USA TODAY during an interview at his home in March that the now-famous lecture was never meant for public consumption, nor was it for his
colleagues or students. It was for his two sons and daughter: Dylan, 6, Logan, 3, and Chloe, 2. "If people are finding inspiration, OK, but the book
is for my kids," Pausch said.

This is a story worth talking about. Especially with so much negativity that has been going on here at ATS. The doom and gloom with the U.S. economy
and housing market. The 'Bush is evil' routine (not saying that he isn't) and on and on.
This guy is a true hero in life and he should be an inspiration to all. He has touched millions of lives with his story and his speeches. If only we
could focus more on doing something like this we would find ourselves in a much better, friendlier world.
