Randy passed away today.  Randy Pausch was the professor that wrote the book, The Last Lecture.  You can read about some of his history online so I won’t cover that here.

When I teach or do some openings, I ask the audience or class what book(s) have they read that has made an impact in their lives.  We have many authors or writings that have had that impact.  It could be the Bible or Pilgrim’s Progress.  It could be a book on leadership values.  And it is possible someone has read The Last Lecture and found what Randy wrote was an eye opener.

I heard the lecture and read the book.  What he states is something that we need to take into consideration with our lives.  How do we spend our lives?  Do we really understand how we will act and say if we were to receive news that we don’t have much longer here on earth?  

Pray for the best for his family.
