Randy Pausch was the first one to say it. At least in a way to have an impact on me.

Like Steve Jobs, he was an inspiration. Like Steve Jobs, he made a speech that changed people. And like Steve Jobs, he had terminal pancreatic cancer.

Sure both men had different impacts—through teaching for one and through products for the other.

At the very end, it’s the same message that brings us inspiration. To believe in yourself. To follow your childhood dreams.
