by Randy Pausch, with Jeffrey Zaslow

Heard the story of Randy few years ago, and last week, got the chance to check out this book in the library - "The Last Lecture".  Sorry for his passing and wish his wife and children carry on his attitude towards life.

Finished reading this book during the break, I felt so related with this computer science professor, great lecture!
他分享的是他整個生活的態度:追求趣味、學習與別人相處、專注於目標。

Love a lot of inspiration quotes in his book, here are some of them:

”We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.”

"Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other."

"Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. "

"Its important to have specific dreams. Dream Big. Dream without fear."
 
"Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough, and people will surprise and impress you. It might even take years, but people will show you their good side. Just keep waiting."

"The questions are always more important than the answers."

"You can always change you plan, but only if you have one."


"Randy Pausch on time management: 
      Here's what I know:
      Time must be explicitly managed, like money.
      You can always change your plan, but only if you have one.
      Ask yourself: Are you spending your time on the right things?
      Develop a good filing system.
      Rethink the telephone.
      Delegate.
      Take a time out.
      Time is all you have. And you may find one day that you have less than you think."


"If you have a question, then find the answer."

— Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture)
