The Last Lecture

Today I read the book, "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch with Jeffrey Zaslow. It has 5 parts: 'The Last Lecture', 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, 'Enabling the Dreams of Others', 'Adventures and Lessons Learned, and 'It's About How to Live Your Life.'
Randy Pausch recently died of pancreatic cancer at 47 leaving a wife and three kids. He was a college professor who provided insights about living life as a part of his computer classes.
The Last Lecture was recorded and can be accessed at You-Tube and is about 75 minutes. An upbeat presentation, I recommend it.
The book, written when he was alive, is not a sad commentary. It is a worthwhile compilation of some pretty good ideas.
Kinda makes you think.
