I have recently read an extremely inspirational book, The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Randy was someone who was suffering from Pancreatic Cancer and he died in the year 2008. He was a scientist and a Professor. He had written this novel for his kids.This novel unfolds the entire odyssey of Randy’s life, covering his childhood, the bond he had shared with his parents, interpersonal connections he formed throughout his life, the brick walls he encountered while discovering himself and his career, magnificent revelation of his soulmate Jai, and glorious birth of his children.
Some of the aspects which had inspire me are:
* Brick walls exist to make us realize how badly we want to accomplish something.
* Time is all you have for yourself and for everyone else out there. Make sure to use it effectively in every sphere of your life.
* Wait long enough. People will surprise you. It needs great patience. Everyone has a good side. Give them enough time.
* When preparation meets opportunity, luck happens.
* Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you wanted.
* All we have to do is ask and it can lead to all your dreams coming true.
Randy had enhanced and embraced not just his last days of life yet has inspired each one of us to live each day mindfully, to savor and be blessed of what we have in our lives.
* A must read for all off us.*
