Randy Pausch was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer in September 2006. His popular “Last Lecture” at Carnegie Mellon garnered international attention and was viewed by millions on YouTube, as well as getting him a spot on Oprah’s couch. When I first saw this YouTube clip, I wept. Not because of his imminent departure, but for the fortitude of his spirit. The power of his message that had to be said.
And on a larger scale, this is very much about your entrepreneurship: To live a life in such a way that you spend your working hours doing something you love, with people you respect, for people who believe in you… So that at the end of your life, much like Randy Pausch, you can say “You’re Welcome”.
