"The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch

If you read Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture, you will find out why every human life is beautiful and special. You will want to achieve your highest goal and motivate other people to enjoy their lives. According to the official website of The Last Lecture, the author describes Randy Pausch and The Last Lecture as "...computer science professor Randy Pausch stepped in front of an audience of 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University to deliver a last lecture called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” With slides of his CT scans beaming out to the audience, Randy told his audience about the cancer that is devouring his pancreas and that will claim his life in a matter of months. On the stage that day, Randy was youthful, energetic, handsome, often cheerfully, darkly funny. He seemed invincible. But this was a brief moment, as he himself acknowledged."
