Drawing from some of the most pivotal points
in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive
officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and
of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates
to pursue their dreams and see the
opportunities in life's setbacks -- including
death itself -- at the university's 114th
Commencement on June 12, 2005.

Professor Randy Pausch made a surprise return
to Carnegie Mellon University to deliver an
inspirational speech to the Class of 2008 at

co-written by Jeff Zaslow of the Wall Street

Probably one of the best, if not the best
commencement speeches in history. It is the
most hillarious public speech that I've ever
seen and I can't get enough of it. Excuse
the watermark and the fact that I had to
break this up into 5 pieces. More reasons
for the imperfections below. I hope you
enjoy!
It took forever to convert this .rm (real
player) file/stream to one (.avi) that can be
uploaded here to YouTube.com. Not only was
it a pain in the butt, but you also have this
stupid watermark on the video because the
software developer for the conversion from
real stream to .avi decided to prevent us
poor people from having a clean version.
The 4th segment is my favorite in these 5
parts. The George Bush Impersonation is
incredible. Tags :WillFerrellHillariousFunnySNLSpeechesHarvardCommencementSpeechGeorgeBushImpersonation
