"The Last Lecture - Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"

Background: (cited from wikipedia.org)
"In August 2006, Randy Pausch, a professor in Computer Science was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He pursued a very aggressive cancer treatment. However, in August 2007 he was told the cancer had metastasized to his liver and spleen, which meant it was terminal. He then started palliative chemotherapy, intended to extend his life as long as possible. At that time, doctors estimated he would remain healthy for another three to six months. On May 2, 2008, a PET scan showed that his cancer had spread to his lungs and some lymph nodes in his chest, and that he had some metastases in his peritoneum and retroperitoneum."
He was listed in Time Magazine's Top 100 Most Influencial People.
