My roommate told me about this guy and showed me the oprah show on him. Some professor who knew he was dying of terminal cancer made a "last lecture". One of his students video taped the lecture and put it on youtube where it became a huge sensation. I haven't seen the lecture itself, but apparently it was very inspirational.
