Book Review

The Last Lecture

This is a moving book that will have you considering how much time you have left to do what you want to do and make the impacts that you want to make in this world.  Author Randy Pausch has written a motivational memoir of sorts that he has entitled The Last Lecture. A lot of professors and speakers use this title, but few have actually experienced what it would be like to truly be giving your last lecture.  Pausch had this experience because he was asked to give a lecture just after learning that he has terminal cancer.

In this book he recounts the lecture he created about reaching for childhood dreams and overcoming obstacles.  The lecture would go on to mean so much more than any other lecture because it was something he really had to do, he had to seize the day and live like this was his last lecture.  This is a moving book that leaves the reader anxious to reach their dreams and make the most out of every day, because it could be your last.

• Feeling down
