"The Last Lecture" was written by Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carneige Mellon after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The lecture he gave - "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" wasn't about dying, it's about living - the importance of overcoming obstacles, enabling the dreams of others, seizing every moment because time is all you have and one day you may find that you have less than you think. In his book and talk, Randy Pausch combined the humour, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and it is definitely a book that will be shared for generations to come. Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university on 18th September 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. He lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on 25th July 2008. If you love to read... it is a MUST read, otherwise watch this video (1 hr 16 mins) and BE INSPIRED!
