Pausch dies, I cry

"The brick walls are there for a reason," he said during his lecture. "The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something."

Prof. Randy Pausch, the charismatic CMU professor lost his battle to pancreatic cancer last Friday. I wrote about him briefly after I watched his famous ‘last lecture’. He inspired many, including me and my heart goes out to his loving, strong wife and his three adorable kids, who are too small to perhaps understand the gravity of this loss.

Rest in peace, Prof. Pausch. Heaven just opened its gates to an incredible man, who taught us all humility, love and adventure through his words of wisdom.
