Randy Pausch (1960-2008) was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He is widely known for his "last lecture" speech and his book The Last Lecture. Two years after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he died at the age of 47 in 2008, leaving behind many inspirational speeches. This is an example.
In this speech, he suggests that "it is not the things we do in life that we regret, on our deathbed, it is the things we do not." I have been trying to, and want to, take every opportunity be happy, make the most of life, and try new things everyday in hopes of someday finding my passion.
