Randy Pausch is dead. Long live Randy Pausch! And long will he live after spending the last few month his life helping millions think about what they want out of life...and giving them the courage to pursue it.

When I first heard of Randy Pausch and his Last Lecture, I felt as if my own work with SuperViva.com was "justified." After I went through an illness, I had decided to create that website as a legacy to inspire people to live their lives fully. It combines my background and passion for Internet experiences with my love of helping people brainstorm about their lives. Me multiplied by input from people around the world.

Well, the Brazilian phrase "saudade" expresses how I feel about Randy Pausch dying. It is melancholy mixed with joy for his generous contributions to the world when he had limited time on earth. May we all follow his amazing examples for whatever our callings may be.
