The Last Lecture

Some pearls, but ultimately it's written by someone who values doing more than being. Pausch is all about his accomplishments: living his life by aiming at a target and crushing obstacles in his way. There seemed little enjoyment of the path, little reflection on the opportunities of the moment, just that sweet gloating of triumph when his laser focus and tireless efforts win him his victories. That is not my Way. Not to say that it's wrong. Just that it's not how I envision a meaningful life, and I won't be giving away copies of this to my younger friends-and-relations.
