The Last Lecture
It seems that most people have learned about Professor Randy Pausch’s “Last Lecture,” delivered at Carnegie Mellon in September of 2007. Clips of his moving lecture have traveled from in-box to in-box, and a book by the same name was published earlier this year.
Randy Pausch lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last Friday.
My Mom gave me her copy of the book, which I’ve read and passed on to a friend. I’m a jaded New Yorker, so I typically don’t go for too much sentiment, but the energy and courage Professor Pausch brought to the past year of his life is impossible to deny. He had a lot of life lessons to leave (principally intended for his children), and as word spread, to a much larger international audience.
For me, his passing deserves some contemplation. With all of the static that seems to be swirling around us lately, from growing unemployment and continued economic uncertainty to a divided political landscape, have we done all that we intended to do in our lives? Instead of becoming mired down in the negative, what is it can we accomplish today?
