randy pausch

Randy Pausch is one man anyone should learn lessons from or imitate.

To begin with, he is not afraid to die, and he´s very close. He has pancreatic cancer and it is a matter of months if not days before he dies. Seeing him deliver his talks or be interviewed on ABC as well as write about his sickness on his last days, it is truly amazing. 

Or maybe he is afraid to die, but knows there is a lot that needs to be done before that happens for him to spend the rest of his days crying. For example, he has a family, a wife and three kids, that he is worried he will not be able to protect when he dies. That makes him sad and very human. 

He is a successful man in many ways. He is a Professor of Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, and Design. He has taught for many years and has shown great sensibility for the growth and development that his discipline demands. Proof of this is Alice, a 3D language programming environment which allows novice programmers to resolve problems that otherwise may even discourage them, which he is the founder of.
