"The last lecture" is a superb heart touching book written by Randy Pausch,a married father of three who is dying from pancreatic cancer. I am quite impressed by the amazing undying enthusiasm that Randy had!
In September 2007, Randy gave a final lecture to his students at Carnegie Mellon University. A video of the original lecture quickly spread across the internet and has been view over a million times.You can check out the video at www.thelastlecture.com
Some excerpts from this book :
'We cannot change the cards we are dealt,just how we play the hand'
The brick walls are there for a reason. They are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
Phrase whatever you could in a positive light. When the professor asked, "How long before i die" the doctor answered,"You probably have three to six month of good health."
Luck is indeed where preparation meets opportunity.
Its not hard you hit. Its how hard you get it...and keep moving forward.
take out some time, go to crosswords and buy this FANTASTIC book :)The trouble with books, especially good books, is that they take so long to write and just a few hours to read…
Happy Reading!
Love,
