"The Last Lecture" blew me away... again

My study group read Randy Pausch's book "The Last lecture" and are preparing a presentation on it. This book was such an inspiration... I could go on, but you'll learn more about the book and our opinions of it in our presentation. I have been rereading parts of the book very carefully and looking for specific details that we can include in our presentation. I have not forgotten (nor do I think I will forget) the impact this book has had on me, but lately I have felt like I'm forgetting that this, all of Pausch's unique stories and reminiscences of big dreams coming true, were accomplished by a real person. In order to make it more real to me I watched his complete lecture on YouTube. Wow! Yes, the book is very well written, but there's something about the emotion enthusiasm of a person that can't quite be captured in the same way in a book. I wouldn't go to the point of saying watch the video over the movie because the book expands on some of the ideas that he briefly touched on in the actual lecture, but I do think seeing Randy and hearing his voice share his message is very powerful. I have included the link to this video on the side bar... "Randy Pausch's Last Lecture." I encourage EVERYONE to watch it! : )
