I’ll take an earnest person over a hip person every time, because hip is short-term. Earnest is long-term. Earnestness is highly underestimated. It comes from the core, while hip is trying to impress you with the surface. ‘Hip’ people love parodies. But there’s no such thing as a timeless parody, is there? I have more respect for the earnest guy who does something that can last for generations, and that hip people feel the need to parody.

Randy Pausch, 'The Last Lecture': The Parent Lottery

I definitely won the parent lottery. The idea that Randy Pausch’s family was brought up on ‘dictionaries and encyclopaedias’ rang a bell. In my parents’ home the shelf was lined with dictionaries.

Review: The Last Lecture

Synopsis:

A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?

When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.

In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Plot:

One could wish they would achieve their childhood dream. For Randy Pausch, he managed that, before dying young due to pancreas cancer. Randy Pausch was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and because of his terminal cancer diagnosis, gave an audience of hundreds his final lecture, inspiring them to achieve their childhood dreams. This novel has snippets from his talk, and Pausch’s life as he uses this novel not only to tell his story but to pass on his wisdom to his three children whom he will never see grow up. Pausch’s lecture contained motivation on how to really achieve your childhood dreams, and life lessons Pausch thinks everyone should know about. At 47 years old Pausch leaves us too soon, leaving this novel to be their lasting legacy.

Thoughts:

What wise words that dying man Randy Pausch left for us to read. Words from a dying man are always lasting, and for Pausch’s book, they really dive into your core, as Pausch wanted to show readers that life is worth living, despite the author himself dying. These words of wisdom were from a father to his three children, and not knowing Pausch’s family, you can tell he would have been a great father, and it is a shame that his life was cut too soon. The writing was slow, with each word on purpose, and where you might not share the same joys Pausch shared for education and computer science, you can admire him for being a person that pursued his dreams until his final day. I love how much Pausch contributed this novel to their wife, Jai, and to their three children, as often I felt like I was invading a private conversation with how open Pausch was. This book does have a life advice session, it is more about Pausch’s life and how they managed to achieve their dreams, and less about how you can achieve yours. Making this story more of an autobiography than a life advice story, however, Pausch did try to include the readers in on a few inside jokes. Overall, this is just a story about a man, who despite dying, managed to live a good life, and uses this novel to tell their children what type of person their father was.

Book called The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. I found many of the books I thought I knew, and I loved all of them all, but in one way or another, I found myself thinking about my current subject matter. In those books, an idea strikes me as one that has little relevance to what happens outside of the context of a class.
