Randy Pausch——卡內基梅隆大學（CMU）計算機學院（令人向往的一個信息科學研究生院）終身聘用教授，一個充滿創造力和幽默感的胰腺癌晚期患者，一個最大的孩子也才五歲（見上面的照片）的父親。昨天凌晨時分在Slashdot上隨便翻看的時候經過多次鏈接后到了這里—— http://slashdot.org/articles/07/09/21/1448229.shtml?。

也不多做介紹了，在Google上可以找到很多有價值的消息：

相信大家看了都會有所啟發和領悟，最后用Randy演講中的給我印象深刻的若干段話作為結尾：
-- ?The brick walls are not there to keep us out, the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who dont want it badly enough!
-- When you are screwing up and nobody is saying anything to you, that means they give up. Is that when you see yourself doing something badly and nobody is bothering to tell you anymore, that is a very bad place to be. Your critics are your ones telling you they still love you and care.
-- Did you figure out the head fake?（這是演講最后快要結束的一段的第一個head fake，第二個是說“這個演講不是為了you guys而是my three kids”）It is not about how to achieve your dreams. It is about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself.
