Randy Pausch是美國(guó)卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學(xué)的計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)、人機(jī)交互及設(shè)計(jì)教授。2006年9月，他被診斷患有胰腺癌。2007年9月18日，他在卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學(xué)做了一場(chǎng)風(fēng)靡全美的“最后的演講”，根據(jù)這次演講，他出版的“The Last Lecture”一書(shū)則成為亞馬遜網(wǎng)站上最為暢銷的書(shū)籍之一。Randy教授所傳達(dá)的訊息之所以如此震撼人心，是因?yàn)樗哉\(chéng)懇、幽默的態(tài)度去分享他獨(dú)特的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。他談的不是死亡，而是人生中的重要議題，包括克服障礙、實(shí)現(xiàn)兒時(shí)夢(mèng)想、幫助別人實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想、把握每一個(gè)時(shí)刻……

I asked my parents what I should do. "Be supportive," my mom said. "If you love her, support her." And so I did that. I spent that week teaching, hanging out in an office up the hall from Jai. I stopped by a couple of times, however, just to see if she was all right. "I just wanted to see how you are," I'd say. "If there's anything I can do, let me know." A few days later, Jai called. "Well, Randy, I'm sitting here missing you, just wishing you were here. That means something, doesn't it?" She had come to a realization: She was in love, after all. Once again, my parents had come through. Love had won out. At week’s end, Jai moved to Pittsburgh. Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
