RIP Randy Pausch
Earlier this year, I posted the following entry:
Unfortunately, the man who gave this powerful speech (Randy Pausch) has passed away. As a father, I can’t imagine leaving my children. My thoughts and prayers certainly go out to his family.
Full Video Below
For those interested, the video below contains the entire speech. My original entry (above) contained an abbreviated version. The full version is long, but certainly worth a look when time permits.
Lastly, for those interested, there is an online memory book for Pausch at the link below:

I’m so sad to read this.
I’ll always remember Randy’s lecture. It is so inspirational.My condolences and prayers to his family, and may his memory and what he stood for last forever and inspire…
Most of us forget about “living in the present”…..I hope to keep remembering the lessons contained in his “last lecture”………my thoughts are with his family………
Hey Ross! It’s your buddy Chuck. First & foremost i send my heart & deepest condolences to Randy’s family, i pray that the Lord comfort them in there time of greivance. And also i pray that the Lord keep Randy well rested where he’s at right now. The first time i’ve seen you post the abbreiveated video up of Randy on your blog Ross, I was like wow!!! This just makes you think about a whole lot of things. I said to myself that day… This is what the spirit of living is all about. He will always stay in my mind when i’m going through a hard time or sense troubled times arising.
Not long after watching his video the first time you posted it up i read a book written by former NHL hockey player Pat Lafontaine, the name of the book was called Companions In Courage and i definitely recommend that everyone that visits this blog read that book. That book i assure you will change your life Dramatically after reading it & make you all think about life way different even if you are already mentally strong and humbled in your ways of living, as i am as well, but after reading Pats book i see & Review things totally different on a day to day basis.
It has helped me not only in my thoughts but in my training as well & makes me love life & everything in it till my dying day. You can purchase this book at this link here http://www.cic16.org/ or go to your local library to find this book as i did. Ross thank you for sharing his memory with us he will be forever remembered in my heart. GOD BLESS you RANDY may you R.I.P.
That’s a great video and definitely very touching to watch. My thoughts and prayers will go out to Randy’s family.
A man with words that will live forever.
When im sad or when im not motivated i look at people like Randy Pausch. He have not said good bye to his life because of his illness. Randy Pausch RIP!
My mother died last year because of breast cancer.
The most important thing for me however, is that he not wasted his time. I mean how could you spend your last days of your life better. Im really embarrassed when i compare myself to a person like Randy Pausch.
One very special and good person whose gone.
He will be a legend for ever.
I´m a Muslim but i´m praying also for his family
for a long happy and healthy life!
And to Ross & the ROSSTRAINING community
STAY STRONG!
after watching his last speach… any attempt to put into words how inspiring this man IS and how much he will be missed seems wanting.
RIP Randy and may your family find peace.
