Easy Way To Lose Weight

Sadly, I heard this morning that former Carnegie Mellon University professor, Dr. Randy Pausch, died today from pancreatic cancer.

Like so many others, I was inspired by his 2007 last lecture, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” Randy talked about living with challenges and most importantly of all, living your passion.

Even he was surprised by how many people he touched in his final days.

If you haven’t had a chance to hear his lecture yet, you can find it at http://www.cmu.edu/randyslecture/

I hope you’ll be inspired, too.

My thoughts and prayers go to his wife, Jai, and their 3 kids, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe.
