helwenA friend on LJ posted a video of Randy Pausch, giving a lecture on Oprah -- I couldn't actually watch the whole thing at the link he gave -- apparently Stumbleupon doesn't like my pc or something, so I looked it up on Youtube: Randy Pausch on YouTube
Randy Pausch is a professor at Carnegie-Mellon, but the lecture is on living -- being given by a man who is dying. The lecture he gives on Oprah is extremely good and I highly recommend it, although I also recommend tissues or handkerchiefs. Funny, truthful, and poignant.
He did have to condense his lecture to fit into a tv segment however, so if you want the full lecture, which he gave originally at Carnegie-Mellon, check it out at YouTube. There are several segments, I think 10 of them. It's definitely worth it because he goes into more detail, more examples, and develops points he covers in the above presentation more fully.
Here are links to the first of them:
Randy Pausch's Last Lecture, Part 0
Randy Pausch's Last Lecture, Part 1
Randy Pausch's Last Lecture, Part 2
This are the ones I've seen so far. Do still have to get some other things done today, but this man is very inspirational, on how to live life, no matter what's happening.
[EDIT: The full lecture is actually easier to watch in some ways, because Randy is a funny and intelligent guy, so a lot less tissue/handkerchiefs involved]
Work hard. Work harder. Life life. Help others. Experience is what happens when you don't get what you want.
