In the videos below, Pausch celebrated living the life he had always dreamed of instead of concentrating on impending death.

Quote from Pausch: "“I don’t know how to not have fun,” he said in the lecture. “I’m dying and I’m having fun. And I’m going to keep having fun every day I have left. Because there’s no other way to play it.”

"We don’t beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully"

Blessings and cyber hugs to all in his family/tribe!

And thank you Randy for creating and following your dreams!
