The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

I got really bored in the later part of this book. But nonetheless this book still managed to touch me deeply. A dying man realizing the value of living and the value of him still living after he dies. The power of hitting three birds with one stone. His wits has been energized by his cancer. Inspiring him to make The Last Lecture. He knows he's not gonna be around for his kids when they grow up. That's one of the reasons why he wrote this book. He wants his kids to have an idea of what kind of person their father was.

The Last Lecture can make you fly.

The knowledge of knowing how life he still have paradoxically made him live more. For example: If you are asked if you only have less than 24 hours to live, what will you do? The thought of death makes us live in the here and now and later –makes us pretty much aware of our lives. You can get your strength from that thought of death. If life were a sentence, it would have been very deeply wrong if it has no period in the end. Death gives meaning to our existence. One is already dying the moment one is born. Meaning, the moment you were born, then you're already old enough to die.

We can die anytime –can be because of an unlucky accident, disease, getting murdered, or suicide. We just don't know it as of this very moment. We live and we live. That's the only thing imminent. We don't have forever to live –we don't have time to waste. We die because we are alive. But that not the case that matters. We are living because we are gonna die someday.

Seize the Day. Carpe Diem. Live the moment for these moments are never ever coming back. Time flies with out wings.

How you live your life starting today is what matters most. What's your own "The Last Lecture"?

Do you have to live twice?

One lifetime is enough ... if you just live it. Be right or wrong.
