Hi,
You all would have recognised the cover of this book. The passing of Prof Randy Pausch, author of this "The Last Lecture" book, and our handing of this book as a token to lecturer Lee Lan was quite a coincidence.
If you feel like viewing his "Last Lecture" on YouTube, here it is:

There are precious gems and wisdom to share. And if you have a 'thing' for teaching, as we all have, this lecture is one that I would highly recommend. Some gems..
“…when you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care.”
“Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.”
“It’s not about how to achieve your dreams, it’s all about leading your life. If you lead your life in a right way, karma will take care of itself. And dreams will come to you.”
[Quoting a CMU secretary]“This advice is good for the ladies: when it comes to men that are romantically interested in you, it’s really simple: just don’t listen to anything they have to say; pay attention to what they do.” (Cynthia’s note: good advice for men and women!)
“If I only had three words of advice, they would be, Tell the Truth. If got three more words, I’d add, all the time.”
