Randy Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon and was 47 years old when he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. He uses his illness as an opportunity to give his "Last Lecture". A last lecture is usually provided by a professor as a hypothetical, if it were to be their final lecture what would they want you to remember from them and the life that they had lived? The address in this memoir, however, really would be Randy's last.
He talks much about how to overcome obstacles in life, why we should dream big, and how time is really all that we have— so use it wisely.
I'd recommend this short read to anyone! It's a good reminder of how precious and delicate life is.
