Description:
A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." ì Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on ì what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't ì help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to ì the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish ì tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?

When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie ì Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to ì imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with ì terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your ì Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the ì importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of ì others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you ì have...and you may find one day that you have less than you ì think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to ì believe. It was about living.
