The Last Lecture

If you knew you were going to die, and you had one last lecture, what would you say to your students?

It's an academic tradition, and the situation is hypothetical. Only it was all too real for Prof. Randy Pausch, as he battles with terminal pancreatic cancer (ten tumors in his liver).

The title of his "Last Lecture" is Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, which he delivered in CMU in September 2007 [76 minutes].

He later delivers a condensed version in Oprah [10 minutes].

He teaches that if you live properly, then karma will bring all your dreams rushing towards you. And he also says so much more.

Go watch the video, and get an amazing 10-minute experience of your life.
