Here is the latest act from Prof. Randy Pausch of Carnegie-Mellon University. He wrote a book with Jeff Zaslow, a reporter of Wall Street Journal, titled “The Last Lecture“. He talked about why he did it:

About: learning a second language? talk as much as you can, make as many mistakes as you have to, and never, never, never give up.

How inspiring Randy Pausch is! If you liked “The Last Lecture”, another fantastic memoir I just read and highly recommend is “My Stroke of Insight” by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Her TEDTalk video (ted.com) has been seen as many times as The Last Lecture I think, and Oprah did 4 shows on her book, so there are a lot of similarities. In My Stroke of Insight, there’s a happy ending though. It’s an incredible story! I hear they’re making it into a movie.
