 - It's really about how to live your life...I'm really glad that I've read the book and seen the video that this is based on... In such a tragic story, this seems to be the "silver lining" that really emphasizes the importance of living your life fully each and every day. Enjoy and cherish all the time that you are given to spend with your loved ones and stop making lists of "what you want to do before you die" - just go out and do them. Life is too short to take those around you for granted. Lots of insightful advice in the book. Rating: - Must read!I read this compelling book in a matter of hours. Everyone should read this book. My copy is now circulating around to my family and friends. Rating: - Be the first penguin"Time is all you have. And you may find one day that you have less than you think" - we all unconsciously know this, and yet, it seems that we often forget as the vortex of circumstance and daily happenstance takes over our lives. Randy's story is a great reminder of why you should shoot for the stars, and live each day to the fullest. A memorable quote: "Be the first penguin ... Failure is not just acceptable, it's often essential." Rating: - Last LectureFor those of you looking for some really great words of advice that will last a lifetime and can be applied to all phases and aspects of your life, this is the book for you. Randy Pausch has left us with a legacy that will last many generations. There are many chapters but they are short and easy to read. I finished this book in two nights, and did not want to put it down even when I had to. His philosophies are quite simple, but can make all the difference where deep down happiness and fulfillment are concerned. God Bless Jai and their children and keep them safe and warm. His Bravery and style served him well, and can teach us all a lot about not wasting the precious and limited time on this earth that we all share. Rating: - A read for EVERYONE!This is a very touching story and a very well written book. This is a quick read and many lessons can be learned from this short book. Everyone of any age should read this book, I've quoted this book more than a few times.
