The Last Lecture -lessons in living (Book reviews)

The Last Lecture-lessons in living --by Randy Pausch
The Last Lecture is an inspirational and heart-warming autobiography about living, it is one of the best life-changing reading written by Randy Pausch. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had only months to live while he delivered a last lecture called ''Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', which reflected what matters most to him in his life, yet encouraging us to turn our dreams into reality. 

I read the book on my Cruise trip with family in Aug, 2011. The neurotransmitters hit my nerves and all my childhood dreams spring to my mind. I sometimes think I learn more from pursuing my dreams, and not accomplishing it. 

Dreams are continuously being modified, reformed and created in my life. In this book, Randy quotes ''We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.''. Life is precious, one day, we may find out something unexpected, like Life isn't as long as we think. Therefore, we should all live as if this would be the last day on earth. 

We are responsible for your own life so leave some remarks before it is too late. Love those people who love us and contribute our best abilities to change or improve lives of others. During this process, we may encounter difficulties which we should see as opportunity to learn. Because Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. Remember, it is not how hard you hit, it is how hard you get hit...and keep moving forward and keep trying to turn our dreams into reality.
