When Time Becomes Your Most Precious Currency
What would you do if you knew you had only months to live? Randy Pausch faced this question not as a hypothetical exercise but as his reality. Diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, this computer science professor transformed his "last lecture" at Carnegie Mellon into an extraordinary gift-not just for the 400 people in attendance, but for his three young children who would grow up without him. With humor, wisdom, and remarkable clarity, Pausch didn't dwell on dying but instead focused on living fully. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt," he told his audience, "just how we play the hand." After showing his CT scans with ten liver tumors, he dropped to the floor and did pushups-breaking tension with laughter and demonstrating that while death approached, he wasn't finished living yet.
