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. And while they
speak, audiences can't help but
mull the same question: 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 didn't 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"--wasn't 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.
