"If you were going to disappear tomorrow, what would you leave as your legacy?".
"What would you leave behind for people to remember you with?".
"How would you have people remember you?".
'The LAST LECTURE' is the 'legacy' of Carnegie Mellon Professor, Randy Pausch, a computer science professor who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
---------------------------------------------------------
We often take life for granted, never considering (or rather always avoiding) the fact that our time is undetermined.
Who is there to say that we will live for another 20, 30, 40 years, or any other amount of time?
Who can say that they will not die tomorrow? or even in a few moments? Sudden death is exactly as the name implies - sudden, and unexpected. There does not have to be a cause. Even the most healthy, fit and happy person can suddenly just...go.
Accidents are not planned (hence the name). Who can say that they will not have the luck of meeting a drunk driver on the road, and suffer the damned devils stupidity? We may play safe as much as we want (and we should!), but who can control what others do?
"LIVE LIFE AS IF YOU WILL BE LIVING FOR ANOTHER THOUSAND YEARS...
...AND FEAR DEATH AS IF YOU WILL DIE TOMORROW"
Make preparations NOW. Don't wait, because you may not have that much time after all.
A reminder for myself mostly...also for everyone that will accept it.
