Tips From Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture
by Zig Noda

Randy Pausch was a professor at CMU and was told he had 3 to 6 months to live. A month later he delivered his “last lecture” which has been viewed by millions of people worldwide. His last lecture was about “How to Achieve Childhood Dreams”. He passed away July 2008 at the age of 47.

“It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you.”

The main points of his last lecture are:

1. Having FUN.
