Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch passed away last Friday. Just when I became a huge fan of his last lecture! From someone who was having treatment for the final stage of pancreatic cancer, he gave a really touching and inspiring speech to a full audience in his college, then later wrote a book on his last lecture.

It was through him that I got my priorities in life sorted out, that I got cheered up whenever I was down, that I got determined and inspired to relive my childhood dreams, that I wanted to live life to the fullest, dedicating my remaining time to people that truly matter to me. So fare thee well, and rest in peace.

Thank you for being my muse, my guru and my inspiration.
