按:卡内基.美隆大学资科系的教授Randy Pausch 2006年9月被诊断罹患了胰脏癌,在他人生的最后一刻他站上讲台,跟学生以及听众分享他这一生所体会到的经验。Randy Pausch教授的这个最后的演讲给他带来了巨大的声誉,但还是在2008年7月因癌症不治去世。 这是他网页上的一段话:
The "Last Lecture"
I am flattered and embarassed by all the recent attention to my "Last Lecture." I am told that, including abridged versions, over six million people have viewed the lecture online. The lecture really was for my kids, but if others are finding value in it, that is wonderful. But rest assured; I'm hardly unique. Send your kids to Carnegie Mellon and the other professors here will teach them valuable life lessons long after I'm gone.
