The Last Lecture
I just finished reading ``The Last Lecture'' by Randy Pausch, an extraodinary man who has terminal cancer. My mom first told me about him, and even though my mom isn't savvy with computers, she told me to check out his last lecture on www.youtube.com. I did, and it was fascinating. I just finished reading the book - and sniffling. I would've read it all in one sitting, if not that it was 1 a.m. last night, and I had to be up by 7 a.m. today. So, I forced myself to put it down, and I fnished it tonight. I have never read so many wonderful life lessons all in one place. Wherever you are in life, you could benefit from his advice regarding love, family, friends, business, classmates, etc. I guarantee you won't be able to put it down, and you'll have a stronger appreciation for life. Unfortunately for Pausch, he has a finite time to enjoy life. You and I can arm ourselves with this man's wisdom and be better people for it.

I saw his videos on YouTube (though they've taken down the episode of Oprah that he was on), and I'm looking forward to buying his book.

Well, we all have a finite time to enjoy life. It's just that most of us don't appreciate how finite that time is until we're much older. I think one of the major lesson's of Randy Pausch is that we never know how much time we have left and we should try our best not to waste it.
