Recently, I listened to the book The last Lecture which was written and presented by computer scientist Randy Pausch can be viewed on the Internet. ( I subscribe to recorded books and that is how I pass the time while driving in the car.) Randy who died on July 24, presented the lecture in September at Carnegie Mellon University where he was a professor. This was his last lecture because he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which took his life and he was aware of the medical situation which he did not hide but faced head on.

In May, Time magazine name Dr. Pausch as one of the world's top-100 influential people. Two months earlier, he had appeared before a United States Senate subcommittee where he pushed for increased federal funding for pancreatic cancer research.
Paush's message was to live life to the fullest everyday and work through obstacles in life.
When you get a minute, listen to or read his book. It reminds us to remember what is really important in life.
