Do you like to buy and listen to audio book? We like to recommend one audio book for you. It is audio book on The Last Lecture.
Carnegie Mellon University has a unique tradition. Each year, they will ask one of their faculty member to deliver a speech called The Last Lecture. During this lecture, they are to talk on what matter to them most if they were to face with their own impending death.
When Professor Randy Pausch was asked to talk, he did not have to imagine about his impending death. The truth is that he only have between three to six months to live. He had been diagnosed with a terminal cancer. His lecture however, was not about dying, but about achieving one’s childhood’s dreams.
In this lecture, Randy spoke about the importance of overcoming obstacles, to achieve your dream and to help others to achieve theirs too. One of the most memorable quotation from Randy in the audio book was, “time is all you have… and you may find one day that you have less than you think.”
The audio book reading of The Last Lecture is a summation of all that Randy believed in. The printed form of the book was first published in April 2008. The printed form of the book is thin and can be easily read in just few sittings. The book is also full of quotations such as those from Roman philosopher Seneca.
Randy is a wonderful story teller and capture what is truly essential in life in the slender book. He always address everything from the viewpoint of finding creative solutions to every problem. The Last Lecture was written solely for his three young children, but contains wisdom and voices that everyone can benefit from.
