This is a quote from the late Randy Pausch. I received his book, The Last Lecture,” for my birthday. It’s about how he learns he has terminal cancer around the same time that he is asked by the administration of the college in which he teaches to give his last lecture. Typically, professors use this moment to give students their perspective on life and how to live it to the fullest.
In Pausch’s case…it was literally an opportunity to give his last lecture and leave a legacy for both his wife and three kids.
I am about a third of the way through and am already inspired. It’s interesting to think about what it would take to achieve my childhood dreams (which is a challenge given by Pausch) and then to amp it up and consider the possibility of achieving my adult dreams.
I’m anxious to see where this journey takes me.
