Presentation on “Time Management” by Randy Pausch
I just watched the great video of a presentation on “Time Management” by Randy Pausch again. He held this at the University of Virginia in November 2007 in front of 850 people. Randy was a professor of computer sciences and inspiring person. He died of cancer in July 2008 at the age of only 47. The message of his talk is basically: time is valuable – make the most of it.
Further information on Randy and his great work can be found on Wikipedia.
