- inactive, on 03/02/2008, -4/+23276+ minute youtube video of his actual Carnegie Mellon lecture - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo
It's definitely worth a look. - rpi22, on 03/02/2008, -43/+257Cool, but it would've been better to link to the original video on utube... i cant stand oprah
- sdellboy, on 03/02/2008, -10/+131Good to see you took a message from the video there...'don't complain' - second comment and you manage to ignore his advice.

It's 76:26, so get some popcorn. - bobfrancis, on 03/02/2008, -6/+97I spent a few hours today angry at an ex-friend, dwelling in the past over a friendship that has long since ended. It's ego-based, petty anger. I am ashamed to admit that it's a tape I replay in my head quite often. How much of our time, in this one life we are given, do we spend dwelling in the dirt? What a waste of precious time. Thank you (again) Randy for bringing me back to what is important.
- Tomboys, on 03/02/2008, -4/+94This is such powerful lecture. One of my favorites!
- Waskonator, on 03/02/2008, -10/+90For the first time in i don't know how long, i almost cried right there at the end.
Great video. - rulzwrld, on 03/03/2008, -2/+80This is the first time I dont regret wasting my time on Digg
- JonTheGoose, on 03/03/2008, -5/+77I'm an eeyore..... :(
- woofers07, on 03/03/2008, -0/+66"experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"
great quote to live by. - SmooveO, on 03/02/2008, -6/+60Truly inspirational. This headline doesn't give the video justice.
- mystdragon333, on 03/03/2008, -0/+52I almost didn't watch this.
I'm glad I did. - Tenetri, on 03/02/2008, -5/+53You're missing the point...
- Jpesci, on 03/03/2008, -4/+52"Fire your gun into the mouth of doubt."
Good quote, although slightly pornographic - beankitty, on 03/03/2008, -4/+51That last line, how he made it for 3 people (his kids) hit me. It wasn't until then that I actually let a few tears out. thanks for sharing this. I don't care if it's been "on the front page multiple times", I've never seen it before.
- inactive, on 03/02/2008, -3/+38Showing others what really matters in life isn't the same as asking for pity.
- israelanderson, on 03/03/2008, -3/+36I cried...
- aerophantom, on 03/03/2008, -10/+42digg+oprah?? what??!!
- ieataquacrayons, on 03/02/2008, -5/+37Reminds me of some words I live by.
Rule every moment, seize every day.
and
Fire your gun into the mouth of doubt. - ndavisAA, on 03/03/2008, -0/+31This is a link to his site where he posts about how is current condition. 6 months later and he is still in good health.
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/news/index.html - Mikey9oo, on 03/03/2008, -4/+32His original lecture is much better. Why watch the reprise? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo
- iCallShotgun, on 03/02/2008, -4/+28This is extremely powerful. Take ten minutes out of your day and watch this. It's definitely worth it.
- inactive, on 03/02/2008, -5/+28For every good feel good story, there will still be an overabundance of dumbasses.
- Soulicro, on 03/03/2008, -4/+25Oh for Christ's sake, who gives a *****? This DESERVES to be on the front page more than once, and I hope it'll appear on the front page more times in the future.
- jonmlm, on 03/03/2008, -2/+23because it's 11 minutes
- tmbrwolf19, on 03/03/2008, -1/+20http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3115188410 ...
on google video alternatively. i just like being able to play with the video size. : ) - chocobomog, on 03/03/2008, -0/+19http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/news/
Or you can read his blog to see has survived 6 months but the end is nearing (yet he is still as happy and excited as ever)
Does the guy have to die to validate his points? - Innagadadavida, on 03/03/2008, -2/+21What the ***** is your problem?
- DarrenFreemont, on 03/03/2008, -1/+19Crimson: I must say I'm normally an incredible pessimist, frighteningly cynical person and oftentimes angry at everything around me. But even I struggle with imagining a person who would actually think that that man is narcissistic. Either you're a complete attention starved idiot, or you failed at finding the message. It's a lecture...he is using his experience to make a point. That's not narcissism, that's his job. This guy is using his death to make sure other people remember to live their life.
You're right, everyone dies. Most people do it quietly and pathetically. I'm pretty sure he makes the point to say he is nothing special, just another guy doing his best to be happy and make his kids life better. You're allowed to be the negative guy, just make sure your argument has some grounds before you come out guns blazing at true optimism simply to be the devil's advocate. - jamwil87, on 03/03/2008, -4/+22I'd tell you to go ***** yourself... But Randy says there is good in you somewhere, so I'll just wait for it.
- shayansh, on 03/03/2008, -1/+18It's okay guys, no one is entirely evil. He will come around from being a total douchebag
- cchott1, on 03/02/2008, -3/+20I thought the best video was "Always look on the bright side of life"
- fevredream, on 03/03/2008, -10/+26You, my friend, are what is known colloquially as a "douche-bag."
- esbern1, on 03/03/2008, -12/+27livejournal is over there ------->
- kashem, on 03/03/2008, -0/+14Please watch the original version -- it's worth every minute, and isn't rushed like the one he gave at Oprah. Plus, the crowd reaction was nothing like at CMU.
- thaistick, on 03/03/2008, -3/+15in that case ... my girlfriend is always doubting me.
- Raian, on 03/03/2008, -0/+12Plato's advice was better: live as if you're already dead.
- spudnic, on 03/03/2008, -5/+17Didn't he also say you should point out when other people are doing something wrong?
- insobox, on 03/03/2008, -1/+13Man, that was even better watching it again, had me by the balls, teared up there at the end. Great speech, really gives me something to think about when I'm in 'dire straights'. Good post!
- Dumbledorito, on 03/02/2008, -3/+14Things... grow... in the dirt.
And we ALL float down here... - darkwing81, on 03/03/2008, -2/+13i feel sorry for the sad pieces of ***** that can some how find something negative to say after watching that
- tidu, on 03/03/2008, -0/+11I wouldn't be surprised if he lived longer than doctor's expected. He's just got that thing about him.
- manitoba98xp, on 03/03/2008, -1/+12Not yet. His chemotherapy has been warding off the tumors enough to keep him alive and healthy.
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/news/index.html - z28com, on 03/03/2008, -0/+10I usually post a lot of rags or funny stuff on here, but this, I must say, has been one of the much better posts on Diggs. I thank the person who posted it here or else I would have probably never seen this.
- RoshanK, on 03/03/2008, -2/+12Crimson. Go ***** yourself.
--Digg - Garlik, on 03/03/2008, -0/+9He also seemed less tense in the original, the whole thing was worth it (even at 2 AM on a school night)
- Grindelwald, on 03/03/2008, -1/+10Take a chill pill phil.
- diadem2, on 03/03/2008, -1/+10no. he's still living his life to the fullest and putting actions behind his words. For example, he's a trekie, and now has a speaking role in the new star trek movie.
- Dtopler, on 03/03/2008, -1/+10Right, because if he ate only organic food, he would suddenly be cured...
Better yet, I'm sure that if he only ate organic food in his life, he would have never gotten cancer. Right. - christof53, on 03/03/2008, -1/+10In that b/w picture of him using the Virtual Reality machine....IS THAT THE POWER GLOVE??????
