valuable lessons from Randy Pausch's last lecture:
- We can't change the the cards we are dealt but we can change how we play our hand
- wait long enough and people will surprise you, find the best in everyone, no one is all evil, just keep waiting, people will show you their good side.
- if people piss you off, you just haven't given them enough time (i'd try to remember this)
- brick walls are there to let you prove how badly you want something, they let us show our dedication
- never lose your childlike wonder
- help others
- loyalty is a 2-way street
- We can' t get there alone, believe in karma, tell the truth, be earnest, apologise if you screw up and focus on others, not yourself
- Don't bail, the best gold is at the bottom of the crap
- do the right thing and good stuff has a way of happening
- Show gratitude
- Don't complain, just work harder
- Be good at something, it makes you valuable
- Be prepared, luck happens when preparation meets opportunity
Lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you.

Randy lived life to the fullest and that is truly admirable. He lived in joy and wonder and passed on 25th July 2008. How many of us can truly say we LIVED, and not just passed through life? LIVING it up as much as possible myself too :) Glad you enjoyed his video!
