The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch is a book about life. It is a collection of stories that mean something special to Pausch and combined together, weave lessons that transcend far beyond mere words alone. With these lessons, Pausch extends his ideas to the reader, and encourages to live out their lives knowing more. The Last Lecture is a story that affected how I looked at the world and made me think of how I could apply his lessons to my life.
Personally, Pausch’s lessons opened my eyes to the world around me. His stories were well written and often times, could connect to me in one weird way or another.

His lessons have made me rethink what it is to live. For one, it has made me realize that I can treat others differently. I have learned better ways to apologize and how to have a good conversation. The novel also shares good lessons on personality. According to Pausch, people should dream big and work hard. They are both cliche lessons, but I think they are important ideals to incorporate in one’s life. I have worked hard to get where I am, so reading those helps me to continue that attitude in life. On another note, I can also share these lessons with others, just like Pausch. He chose to give that last lecture for a reason, and that was to teach others ideas about life. These are good lessons that can reshape one’s life, and just like this book impacted me, it will impact someone else as well. The Last Lecture is not only something I can use in my life, but something others can use in their lives too.
In the end, The Last Lecture is a well done book that expresses powerful lessons. Randy Pausch was an amazing guy, and from just reading his words, I am sure of it. With his last lecture, he expressed ideas that mean more than just words on paper. They show that life can be so much more than people make it out of today. That life is not about the beginning or end, but the journey between
