Randy Pausch Inspires Graduates



I am glad to be here today, Hell, I am glad to be anywhere today.

President Cohon asked me to come and give the charge to the graduates. I assure you, it's nothing compared to the charge you have just given me.

This is an incredible place. I have seen it through so many lenses. I saw it when I was a graduate student that didn't get admitted and then somebody invited me back and said, OK, we'll change our mind.

And I saw it as a place that hired me back to be on the faculty many years later and gave me the chance to do what anybody wants to do, which is ,follow their passion, follow their heart and do the things they they're excited about.

And the great thing about this university unlike almost all the other ones I know of is that nobody gets in your way when you try to do it. And that's just fantastic.

And to the degree that a human being can love an institution. I love this place and I love all of the people and Iam very grateful to Jerry Cohon and everyone else for all the kindness that have shown me.

Last August I was told that in all likelihood I had three to six months left to live. I am on month nine now and I am gonna get down and do any push-ups…But there will be a short pick-up basketball game later.

Somebody said to me, in light of those numbers, wow, so you aer really beating the Grim Reaper. And what I said without even thinking about is that we don't beat the Reaper by living longer. We beat the Reaper by living well, and living fully.

For the Reaper will come for all of us, the question is that we do we do before the time we are born and the time he shows up.

'cause he shows up it is too late to do all the things that you're always gonna kind of "get round to". So I think the only advice I can give you on how to live your life well is, first off, remember, it's a cliché, but love cliché, "it is not the things we do in life that we regret on our deathbed, it is the things we do not".

'cause I assure you I've done a lot of stupid things and none of them bother me. All the mistakes, all the dopy things and all the times I was embarrassed they don't matter. What matter is that, I can kind of look back and say, "pretty much anytime I got a chance to do something cool, I tried to grab for it." And that's where my solace come from.


The second thing I would add to that, and I didn't coordinate on the subject of this word but I think it's the right word that comes up, is passion. And you will need to find you passion. Many of you have already done it, many of you will later, many of you will take till your 30s or 40s. But don't give up on finding it. Alright? 'cause then all you're doing is waiting for the Reaper. Find you passion and follow it.

And if there's anything I have learned in my life, you will not find passion in things. And you will not find that passion in money. Because the more things and the more money you have, the more you will just look around and use that as the metric, and there will always be someone with more.

So your passion must come from the things that fuel you form the inside. And honors and awards are nice things but only to be the extent that they regard the real respect from your peers. And to be thought well of by other people that you think even more highly of is a tremendous honor that I've been granted.

Find you passion and in my experience, no matter what you do at work or what you do in official settings, that passion would be grounded in people. And it will be grounded in the relationships you have with people, and what they think of you, when you time comes. And if you can gain the respect of those around you, and the passion and true love, and I've said this before, but I waited till 39 to get married because I had to wait that long to find someone where her happiness was more important than mine. And if nothing else I hope that all od you can find that kind of passion and that kind of love in your life. Thank you!

的最后演讲(全文)



我很高兴今天能够来到这里。天啊,我也很高兴今天我还活在世上。

Cohon校长邀请我回来给大家一些鼓励。我向诸位保证,你们刚刚给我的鼓励更多。

这所学校棒极了!我从很多方面了解它。我也曾从这里毕业,遗憾的是并没有申请上研究生。然而一位恩师邀我回来并说:我们改变主意啦,你被录取了。

许多年以后,我被聘任到这里执教。这是一个所有人都梦寐以求的机会。在这里,你可以听从心灵的召唤,追随激情,并能够做自己爱做的事。

这所学校胜过其他学校的地方在于当你尝试实现梦想时,没有人会阻拦你。这太棒了!

我无比的热爱这所学校,也爱这里的所有人。我十分感激Jerry Cohon校长和我的同事,感谢他们给我的温情。
