More on the Last Lecture
Now the Last Lecture that circulated on the Internet is now a book called The Last Lecture. Randy Pausch is a Carnegie Mellon professor of computer science and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2006 and in August 2007 he was given three to six months to live. Now his life lessons have been expanded into a book:
- Dream big
- Be grateful
- Have humor
- Use your time well
If you had the chance to share your parting words from life's lessons, what would you say? Let me know. Thanks.


How inspiring Randy Pausch is! If you liked "The Last Lecture", another fantastic memoir I just read and highly recommend is "My Stroke of Insight" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Her TEDTalk video (ted.com) has been seen as many times as The Last Lecture I think, and Oprah did 4 shows on her book, so there are a lot of similarities. In My Stroke of Insight, there's a happy ending though. It's an incredible story! I hear they're making it into a movie.
