Death is a horrible thing when it comes upon a loved one. The person
dying is usually a bunch of gloom thinking of what he/she would miss.
But this dying man thought about what others would miss in life when he
died. Randy Pausch, a professor in the
Carnegie Mellon University was suffering through pancreatic cancer, one
of the most fatal cancers while he prepared and presented his literal ‘THE LAST LECTURE‘.
Read the rest of this guest post by me at The Last Lecture - Talk about living by a dying man.

But one watch does quite much to inspire and set you thinking about
how you should live your life. It makes us realize how important it is
to live the life we have, for us, as well as for the people who make it worth living!
As the book says, i leave you with this question to ponder upon, “If you only had a short time to live, what would you do?”
Thats a great thought! I heard someone say once Live everyday as if it were your last!
ReplyDeleteTrue words, whoever said it..!
Deleteif only we could know what the dead think about death..!!
ReplyDeleteKnowing what the about-to-die people have to say is good enough i think.. They're tasting the flavour of death every single day...
DeleteThat was great! We see very few people who stand that strong even when they know it is not long before he ceases to exist. And to share and inspire during such difficult times shows how great a human he is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Indeed! You must read his book... it's simply too good to come from a dying man!
DeleteApparently he wrote some sort of guide for his children. Without their father their directions were charted for them. Incidentally the same thing caused Steve Job's demise. Great write Pranita!
