The Last Lecture
(1)
-
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."---Randy Pausch
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 .
In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, 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. - Portrait

Randy Pausch, Jahrgang 1960, promovierte 1988 in Informatik und lehrte an der Universität von Virginia, wo ihm ein Jahr früher als üblich eine Professur angeboten wurde. Seit 1997 unterrichtete er an der Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Im September 2006 wurde bei ihm Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs diagnostiziert. Er unterzog sich einer Chemotherapie, die allerdings erfolglos blieb. Randy Pausch verstarb im Juli 2008.
