A lot of professors give talks titled The Last Lecture. Professors
are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters
most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew
it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we
want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor
at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didnt have
to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed
with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, Really Achieving
Your Childhood Dreams, wasnt about dying. It was about the
importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of
others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and
you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a
summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about
living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour,
inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a
phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will
be shared for generations to come.
