I don't fear my own death, but if I was told that I'd be missing out on watching my kids grow up, I would not be nearly so pulled together. Which means I would essentially be wasting what little time I did have left with them. So perhaps he had the right idea (and was strong enough to get as much out of his last few months as possible). @Diana–I was impressed by his level of contentment in the face mortal illness.

It was moving then and it is still moving now! What a great outlook on life! I know that if I was under the same situation I could not maintain that level of contentment. I hope this video is viewed by all and understand that life is short and we should treat each other with dignity and kindness. I think it might solve a lot of today's problems and hopefully we all can live together without malice in our hearts. BRAVO and CHIO....Professor Randy Pausch I first saw Professor Randy Pausch on the Oprah Show when he gave this speech again.
