We all know how lectures at University can sometimes be painfully boring. Some of us may also be guilty of skipping our lectures. I don’t know if you guys have heard of the “Last Lecture” given by a dying professor which has caused quite a stir over the internet in recent months. It is certainly one lecture that you wouldn’t want to skip.
Just a short introdution, Dr Randy Pausch is a married father of three, a very popular professor at Carnegie Mellon University—and he is dying. He is suffering from pancreatic cancer, which he says has returned after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Doctors say he has only a few months to live.
In September 2007, Randy gave a final lecture to his students at Carnegie Mellon that has since been downloaded more than a million times on the Internet. The topic was on "Achieving childhood dreams—and living your life" and many people have sinced benefited from that lecture.
On October 22, 2007, Pausch appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show where he discussed his situation and recapped his "Last Lecture" for millions of TV viewers.
