Very inspiring. Over the year's I have been with many people when they have received notice of a terminal disease. I have witnessed all kinds of responses. It is inspiring to see those who refuse to be intimidated by their mortality. The fact is that we all know we are going to die...sometime...but not now! That is the normal perspective by most. Yet, a medical diagnosis of our mortality brings the reality of death to the immediate. I do not know of Dr. Paush's personal faith, or whether he claimed to be a Christ follower. He did not mention it in the clip. Yet, he exuded hope and inspiration because he was honest about his own mortality and life. His desire to impact lives, even to the day of his death, should be an inspiration to all who view the video. Great job!

Marty,
I've watched this many times over the years and I love it so much. What courage, what strength this man had. Oh, that I will react this way one day.
