Tittle : The Last Lecture

Author : Randy Pausch (Professor, Carnigie Mellon)

Page : 224 

Synopsis : 

This book is the true story of the author, Randy Pausch, a lecturer in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, who gave the last lecture in his life. This is related to the diagnosis of advanced stage pancreatic cancer that he obtained, which according to medical predictions only leaves 3-6 months of healthy time in the world. A sad story that drains tears? Not at all. Because, as the author revealed at the beginning of his narrative, "It's not about dying — it is about living."

From the lecture entitled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dream", this book was written, complete with stories about its preparation, as well as the accompanying emotions. Intended disguised on the three young children, the last lecture was intended to motivate and guide them in living their lives. The biggest point he emphasized in it was optimism and courage to dream - because of the dream of all achievements starting. Of course not only dared to dream, but also dared to work hard and face all obstacles. Randy also revealed various dreams through fragments of his childhood stories. Also the long journey he took to make it happen. With his inspirational upbringing, Randy the dreamer grew up to be a young man who likes to work hard, always be optimistic, and really appreciate time. From his father he also learned to understand that being the greatest hard worker in the world was more meaningful than being elitist behind a mediocre desk. This principle was held by him since he studied, became an outstanding lecturer, until later it also became imageneer at Disney World — one of his childhood dreams that came true.

Although motivating someone to be brave enough to face all obstacles, Randy's last lecture was not negligent in talking about failure. Failure after all struggles still contribute something valuable, namely experience. More than that, success and failure are the end result, and the long process towards the end result is the most important. Or in other words, the struggle to achieve life's goals is one big thing. But behind it is hidden another bigger thing, which is how to live life itself.

And it's all the point which i get from that book , i think it can motivate us to be more courageous and optimistic in living a life that sometimes is not in accordance with our wishes .
