Last Lecture

Randy is a computer science teacher who had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He prepare a last lecture for his students. His history is really passional and was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment. It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.

Randy transmits in only 10 minutes a lot of energy. He want the people to improve their mindset, refocus their priorities looking at the bottom of their hearths to find what is really important in life. He also mention perseverence is the key to sucess and how you should live your life: Always having fun everyday in every single action. Which has been also my mantra in the last times.

I really have enjojed this lecture and I’ve seen that although Randy has so time left, he has written a book (The Last Lecture) that seems also very interesting and motivational. The following video is the lecture he prepared for their sons. “I think it’s great that so many people have benefited from this lecture, but the truth of the matter is that I didn’t really even give it to the 400 people at Carnegie Mellon who came. I only wrote this lecture for three people, and when they’re older, they’ll watch it,”

Watch it with a clear mind.


Thanks Jaimi for let me know this stuff.

    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.
