 Written on November 2, 2008 Summary: The Last Lecture I was deeply touched by Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" book on cd. He was truly an inspiring man with a positive attitude I wish more people would have. He faced his illness head on and was not sent into a downward spiral like so many others go when hit with this terminal news. I work in an oncology office and know firsthand that attitude is everything when fighting for your life - make the most of it! Thank you Randy for your many words of wisdom! Written on November 2, 2008 Summary: Thanks for insight When I read this book I was some what sad because of the context of the story and yet I was enlighten to realize that he and I are so much alike and what a wonderful job he did getting a lifetime of values and traits both good and bad into a book. It helped me understand me and I sent it to a number of people including my children so they might understand me through Randy. I understand some people don't get it. He is a STEM guy and not everyone gets a STEM guy but those of us who do certainly say thankyou. Written on November 1, 2008 Summary: Well worth the read I thought this was terrific book. Sure makes one think about their life and what they are doing with it. Written on October 31, 2008 Summary: A Must-Read! This could have been a sad and depressing book, but I found it to be inspiring and uplifting instead! I plan to give this to family and friends for Christmas gifts, as we all need to be reminded what is truly important in life! Written on October 30, 2008 Summary: Every Parent Should Read This Book Somebody sent me the You-Tube "Last Lecture" which moved me deeply. Then I found the book at my son's house and read it. WOW! A hundred times better! Where was this book when I was raising my kids? Where was this book when my parents were raising me? How different my life would have been if I had been given, or had given my own children, the insights to live and love life, make dreams, and believe in self of which Randy writes of so cheerfully in this book. The thesis: Have a dream, Reach a dream! I was always told to be cautious, do what Daddy said, not take chances -- one might be crushed or rejected. Those lessons were a rejection in themselves. When I did mention a dream, I was lovingly told not to hope for fantasies, but to chose something more realistic. Though I didn't say the same in words to my kids, the thought was there, pervading the air of our home. In retrospect, I know I had, and my children had, the brains and talents to be anything, but not the parental encouragement, let alone the joyous abandon to say "GO FOR IT! WHY NOT?" Randy, you've given the world a great gift. I regret that most of the world doesn't and won't recognize it. |
