The Last Lecture. One Year Later.

September 18, 2008

It has since become something of a phenomenon. If you have not had a chance to see it, do yourself a favor and watch. There’s nothing earth shattering here. Nothing you may not have already heard from any secret-to-life self-help guru, or even in your house of worship. But coming from a regular guy who knows that he has a few months to live, the simple message of “don’t be a jerk, be good to yourself and others” – a message we all still struggle to follow – carries far more weight. And Professor Pausch delivers it beautifully.
