In Psychology, we just finished the Lifespan Growth and Development chapter. Our last topic of conversation for that chapter was, Death & Dying. I mentioned to you the "Last Lecture" given by a professor a month after he found out that he had 3-6 months to live because of his cancer diagnosis. The full lecture is about an hour and half but Dr. Pausch did an abbreviated version on Opera that aired last week that is about 10 minutes. Click below to watch that version. 1.) think about what stage Dr. Pausch is in according to Kubler-Ross' stages of grief. 2.) What life lessons did you learn from this lecture.

Dr. Pausch accepted the fact he was going to die, even though he would want to stay pursuing his dreams and watch his three boys grow, according to stage 2 of anger, he didn't want this to be his life.
Thanks to his lecture I learned that you should never give up on your dreams because life is short, so you must live it.
He wants to leave behind the lessons he learned in life to his children. He lectures to the world, but he shows us it's for his kids.
He tells us that we must pursue our dreams and brick wall only show us how badly we want it. He was rejected by Disney twice(?) yet still preservered and was accepted by disney. We must pursue our dreams, and enjoy life.

Hi everyone,
Wow@!#. Dr. Pausch's courage. After viewing the "clip", the life lesson for me is that everyday I must live my life with excellance not mediocrity. Be the best; do the best I can.
Please have a great weekend and be safe.
Later,

Dr. Puasch is already in a state were he understands that he is going to die. Instead of just being sad and upset for everyday he has left, he decides to make a speech about how to live better. This speech showed us how to live a successfull life.

I tried going multiple time to the site today (11/2/07) and all it said was "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by The EIP Group" :/
1) he is in the acceptance stage
2)i learned that no matter what you still have something to appreciate and be thankful for
espically family and loved ones
