Have You Seen the Last Lecture?
By Larry Benet on Apr 10, 2008 in Business
Every one deals with adversity in life, it is how you deal with it that matters.
If you want to watch something that really is inspiring you need to check out professor Randy Pausch’s, “Last Lecture.”

Randy is living life to its fullest, despite facing cancer that his Doctors tell him only gives him 3-6 months left to live. Here are just some of what he shares:
- What you make of the time you have left.
- Never underestimate the importance of having fun. He says he
is dying but he is having fun. He is going to keep having
fun, because there is no other way to play it. - We can’t change the cards we are dealt just how we play them.
- Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
- Dream without fear.
- Find the best in everyone, wait long enough and people will surprise
and impress you.
His book, The Last Lecture is out in book stores and I am sure it will make a great gift for someone you know.
Again, if you have not already seen Randy’s, “The Last Lecture” that was made at Carnegie Melon University, then it is definitely an inspiring piece that I urge to you to take a look at.

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.
