I recently viewed this lecture and was very moved by it. It is a very moving gift that he shares while being recently diagnosed with fatal pancreatic cancer and gives a lecture giving some advice based on his impending death.
You can see the lecture here:http://www.glumbert.com/media/lastadvice and you can view his website with the link of this post. This link is to the manuscript of this lecture, http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/Randy/pauschlastlecturetranscript.pdf .
Here are a couple of notes and quotes that I want to preserve:
"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want."
"Brick walls in your path are there to test how bad you really want something."
"Talent does what it can, genius does what it must."
Some of his advice:
Work and play with others;
Tell the truth;
Apoligize (properly) by saying your sorry, admitting fault, and asking how one can make it better;
Wait, and people will show you their good side;
Show gratitude;
Don't complain, work harder.
