About the book:
On September 18, 2007, Carnegie Mellon professor and alumnus Randy Pausch delivered a one-of-a-kind last lecture that made the world stop and pay attention. It became an Internet sensation viewed by millions, an international media story, and a best-selling book that has been published in 35 languages. His last lecture was about 'really achieving your childhood dreams'. What resulted is an emotional and inspirational account about life as it is when you find out you have only little time left on this earth. A refreshing read, available also to watch on the Internet. If you have 1 hour available, watch the YouTube lecture. Or read this little book. You won't regret it.
From the book:
'When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you'.
'Brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people'.
'Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer'.
