A lot of professors give talks titled "THE FINAL Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and ruminate on what counts most to them. Even though they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the earth if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, your computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he previously recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. However the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It had been about the value of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you need...and you'll find 1 day to have less than you think"). It had been a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It had been about living. In this particular book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and trained with an indelible form. It really is a book which will be shared for generations to come. "We cannot change the cards were dealt, precisely how we play the hand." --Randy Pausch
