This article is dedicated to lecturers and cancer patients. I knew that this article is a bit out of topic from this blog but I'd like to have it posted anyway because I am also a lecturer. This article is very interesting to me. It helps to make me think of what we are, where do we stand and how are we doing in our life.
It's a story about a professor of Carnegie Mellon University who had been diagnosed with cancer in his pancreas. He fought the disease in a very different ways and he wasn't look depress at all in his appearance. Having advised that he had several months to live, he was invited to give a lecture about life title "The Last Lecture" at Carnegie Mellon. Overwhelming response made the full the lecture hall seems like having celebrities appearance. It was a great lecture that people did standing ovation after the end of the lecture. It is a very touching moments for him, his wife, family and the people in the lecture hall.
Professor Randy Pausch was invited and interviewed by the medias and "The Last Lecture" gets wide coverage in the internet. It become so popular that many people felt touched after watching his lecture. The professor died last week which is about 10 months after his "last lecture".
