The Last Lecture

I enumerate my child's dream, I admit it is not impressive. I do not want to be a firefighter or a policeman. I never thought of becoming a billionaire. If you can see my list, you will see only two words written with my hands on my chicken skin. However, there is only one sentence chasing me from the first grade classroom and sticking to it today. Until now curiosity has to pass through your blood vessels solely to know what my child's dream is.

One of my favorite books is the "last lecture" of a man named Randy Bausch. Randy is my beloved professor at Carnegie Mellon University if you are not familiar with this story. He originally planned a series of lectures at the "last lecture". This series was created to allow the professor to share the last word for the students before starting a professional journey. Ironically, he was diagnosed with progressive pancreatic cancer before Randy announced "last lecture". What Randy did next was shocking. On the premise that he is about to die, he did a "last lecture" to him. He firmly believes that he knows exactly what the word "final" means. He also wrote "last lecture" while experiencing this process and danger. His words are very encouraging. He knows that the end is approaching and he treats it with incredible elegance

In academia, there is a traditional "last lecture" that the professor is asked to talk about the most important thing, as if the professor was the last lecture. When Randy Pausch opened "Last Speech" at Carnegie Mellon, it was not a thought experiment - he was recently diagnosed as advanced cancer. He wrote the book "Last Lecture". It is not about his own life or heritage, but how each of us can protect our dreams. Among them, Pausch wrote, "I can not change the cards I deal with, that is how we play cards." And I can agree with Pauche's choice of how to play his hand. The last lecture itself is an incredible resilience, an incredible choice when facing a tragedy.

If you had your last speech before your death, what is it? On September 18, 2007, Dr. Randy Pausch, Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, Pa.) (1) gave the last speech. In his last speech, he talked about his childhood dream and how he realized these dreams. Then how does he continue to make other people realize his childhood dream? He talked about his outstanding moment in his life, the talent he met and the lesson in the process. Dr. Pausch dedicated his last speech to three children, five, three, and one, but the lessons learned from this lecture are universal.
