If you knew you had one last talk to give, what would it be? Carnegie Mellon University hosts lecturers’ from around the world each year. The premise is, if you had one last lecture to give, what would it be? For Randy Pausch, it was very literal. He has pancreatic cancer and his doctors told him he only has 6 months left to live.
His last lecture focused on many things, but really on how you should live your life if you want to achieve your dreams and goals. There is a surprise ending and I will not ruin that for you here. You can watch the
entire 76 minute talk or the
condensed version on Oprah (only 10 minutes long).
You need to make time to watch this video. You will not be disappointed in the long version.
What would you talk about if you had one more talk to give? Have you lived a good life? Was it free of stress? Have you remained healthy? Have you reached your goals and have many of your dreams come true?
Did you use your unique gifts and talents to enrich the lives of others and make this world a better place, or did you wander through life while putting your time in at a job you hated, only to pay your bills?
Maybe it is time to step back from it all and put everything in perspective. Take a fresh look at your life and what you want to accomplish. Put forth a plan of action to make it happen. It is time to get off the sidelines and play!
