Death of inspiration


dlovell, Fri, July 25th, 2008

"You just have to decide if you're a Tigger or an Eeyore. I think I'm clear where I stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate. Never lose the childlike wonder. It's just too important. It's what drives us."

Randy Pausch spoke the words above. I told you about Randy a while back, and about how his "Last lecture" was inspiring people around the globe. Randy died this morning, after a valiant fight against cancer. The doctors had given him until February, so one must imagine that it was his spirit that allowed him to muscle out another four months.

I don't have much more to say, except another thank you to Randy for living a life of inspiration. He proved that only the good die young.
