Summary of The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch & Jeffrey Zaslow

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan
(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.)
If we were destined to perish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? How would your Last Lecture be?
The Last Lecture is not about dying, it is about the dedication to overcome your obstacles and seizing every single moment of your life. You could summarize it as "carpe diem" but it's not so simple. The book is about the accumulation of the life of a brilliant man whom after facing terminal cancer, notices he is near his last lecture, the last mark he would leave. And it can be a lesson to all of us, to live like we were going to give our last lecture in order to make the most of it.
