The Last Lecture - by Randy Pausch

Recently, I read a book, The Last Lecture, which was written by Randy Pausch.
Randy is a professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
Maybe you have seen Randy's lecture from youtube.
If not, you can access it by the following website.

It is positive, inspiring, as well as heart-stirring.

In the book, I learn a lot of spirit and attitude on life, education,
and research.
This is why I recommend you reading the book or visiting the website.
Randy is a professor, getting a tenure in a very short time.
We are also in the academic world. As a result, maybe we can learn
someting from Randy.

TIME magazine named him(Randy) to its list of the 100 most influential
people in the world.
Unfortunely, Randy is died on July 25th 2008 by pancreatic cancer.
However, his book, lecture as well as his attitude still remain in the world.
