Randy Pausch

Dr. Randy Pausch, a professor of computer science at Carnegie-Mellon University who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, educated me with his powerful inspirational message. Dr. Randy Pausch, 47 years old man who has terminal cancer with a life expectancy of a few months gave me a life lesson. He thought me how to achieve dreams also how to face death. Being diagnosed with any kinds of cancer is devastating and despairing, but for him it was opposite; he was happy and cognitively healthy during

Lecture is equally a telling of how Randy Pausch lived his life and a guide on how others should live theirs. Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon and gave his last lecture after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. However, this lecture was not filled with weepy memories of his family or things he wished he could change. Instead, it was a recount of how he was able to achieve all of his childhood dreams and steps for anyone to do the same. Almost everything Randy says in his lecture are extremely

Professor Randy Pausch, from Carnegie Mellon, began his last lecture, a speech entitled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” while in fact he was dying of Pancreatic Cancer. He knew he only had months left to live and put together this last lecture to read to his students. His lecture focuses in on points such as the importance of: making sincere apologies, not whining, being gracious and being humble. To stress his thoughts and views on life and following one’s dreams, Randy Pausch used a great

twist. I expected this book to be about a professor who is retiring and is giving his last lecture. I was taken by surprise when Pausch stated that he had ten tumors and only a few months more to live. I want to know whether he will actually survive or if this is yet another misread fortune doctors give out. After reading through the introduction, I can predict that Pausch will die from the cancer. I won’t be ready for it. I found it rather sarcastic when he stated that he was in terrific physical

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch is a cruelly happy book. Pausch had been recently diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, but he amazingly stays buoyant all while giving magnificent life advice through his experiences. Pausch was a father of three, a graduate from Carnegie Mellon, a professor at the University of Virginia, a Disney Imagineer, and a professor at Carnegie Mellon. All of his experience and terrific qualifications come together to form a complex book. He has the goal throughout the

am sometimes bothered by the decision I made, who wouldn't want their mom in their life? To me life isn't a game and you have to make the most of it while you’re here by treating people with love and respect. Even when they don't earn it. Just like Pausch, I want to live with no regret. So maybe one day I will

Lecture by Randy Pausch. After reading this novel, I was able to take away three things: You can’t change what happens in life, but you can change how you react, the roadblocks in life are there for a reason, and that you should learn from all of the people in your life. The first thing I was able to take away from this book is that life is going to throw the unexpected at you. You don’t have any control over that, but you do have control over how you react to these events. In the novel, Randy notes

First of all, human being's life is always going up and down and its’s a natural. In some point everybody has to face very difficult challenges as they live their life. At first, when Randy talks to Jai about giving his last lecture before he die at that time Jai was leery of that whole lectures idea. Jai felt that Randy ought to be spending his time with their kids, or unpacking out their new house, rather than devoting his hours writing the lecture. But the matter of the fact, he didn’t let it go
