To all of you that have not viewed this yet. This is an incredible story about a Carnegie Mellon professor that has months left to live due to a severe case of pancreatic cancer and gave this last lecture before he went home to be with his family. This has swept the web, with over 6 million views and he is about to release a book about his story. This book was bid on by publishers and eventually the rights were purchased for $6.7 million and the expectation is that this book will be as big as Tuesdays with Morrie (which sold millions of copies). This is a short released by WSJ online that gives the quick story, but I recommend you go and watch the complete lecture as it is an uplifting lecture about living life to your fullest and the importance of having fun, etc.
