Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture.

I only first heard about this Randy bloke this morning on ABC NewsRadio, and I’m instantly envious.

When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are your ones telling you they still love you and care.

Rest In Peace, mate.
