The Journey is the Reward.

In Memory of Dr. Randy Pausch

This morning I woke to the news that Dr. Pausch had died. I am deeply saddened by this loss. Dr. Pausch has been an inspiration to me through my doctoral studies.  His innovative and creative ways of teaching and exploring and learning are ones I hold deeply in my heart.  His love of life and his way of living left a lasting impression on what can be accomplished if as he said “If you lead your life the right way the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.”

Dr. Randy Pausch

So in memory of Dr. Pausch I welcome dreams and am grateful to have shared in part of his life through his last lecture and will keep his memory alive in my heart.

  1. I have come back to this posting and this message at least a dozen times over the past few weeks and it touches me each time.

    When I think of Dr. Pausch, I think of him in the present because in a very real sense he is with us now.

    Though it has been nearly two months since Doctor Pausch’s passing, I try to keep alive his message and his memory and his enthusiasm each day.

    Dreams do matter and every day matters.
