A human being who knew how to live and die passed away on Friday, 25 July. What can one say about a man who was told he had a short time to live, and took whatever time he had, and, not only gave it to his wife and three children, but gave it to all of us. In the process, he taught us, and showed us, what it means to “let go”. Thank you Randy Pausch.
He and his family were recently interviewed at their home. The cameras followed them, and when questions were asked, he answered all of them with a serene look on his face – the one he always seemed to have.
What a gift he gave his children; what an example he was to the world.
On Monday, 28 July and Tuesday, 29 July “Good Morning America” will have a tribute to him. And on Tuesday, 29 July “Primetime” will have “The Last Lecture: A Celebration of Life” at 10pm. www.first30days.com “Randy Pausch Passes Away”.

Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more-than-ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.” – “The Wisdom of James Allen” 5 Classic Works Combined Into One
