The Last Lecture

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

You've probably heard the story...

Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, discovered he was dying of terminal cancer. He was asked to give a "Last Lecture" before most people knew of his condition. He used that opportunity to focus on achieving your childhood dreams, no matter the obstacles. He wanted to leave something of himself for his children who would never really know their father.

The story is short but poignant. It will make you cry and smile through the tears. It will make you hug your loved ones and thank God for another day.

Quotes I love from this book:
"Time is all you have. And you may find one day that you have less than you think."

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."
