The last lecture. (from dying Carnegie Mellon professor)
Did you hear about the touching lecture on how to live life and achieve your childhood dreams, delivered by a dying young professor with amazing joy and candor at Carnegie Mellon. Here is Dr. Pausch's page -- which will live on surely -- and on it is the full video of his lecture. I give it my highest recommendations.
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.
