兰迪·弗雷德里克·波许(Randy Frederick Pausch)是美国卡内基梅隆大学的计算机科学、人机交互及设计教授。2006年9月,他被诊断患有胰腺癌。尽管进行了手术和化疗,他还是于2007年8月被告知癌细胞已经转移至肝臟及脾脏,至多可以再存活3到6个月。 美国很多高校在资深教授退休前都会为他们安排讲授一堂面向全校学生的“最后一课”,表达学校师生对其的崇敬和感激,让教授为自己的教学生涯划上一个完美的句号。卡内基梅隆大学将其命名为“旅程(Journey)”,希望演讲者能和听众一起分享自己的个人或学术旅程。波许虽然还没有准备退休,但是鉴于他的病情,他在2007年9月18日做了题为:“真正实现你的童年梦想”的最后一课,这也是“旅程”系列的第一课。 2007年9月21日,兰迪·波许被ABC世界新闻列为“本周人物”,他也得到了国际媒体的关注。波许的“最后一课”成了互联网上的热点,在发布一个月内被收看超过一百万次,他出版的《最后一课》一书则成为当前亚马逊网站上最为畅销的书籍之一。 以下摘引李开复在《引领你的一生》中对《最后一课》的一段评价: “前不久,我的同学兰迪·波许教授在我们的母校卡内基·梅隆大学做了一场风靡全美的讲座,题目是《真正实现你的童年梦想》。该讲座的视频在不同视频网站上被点播了上千万次。《华尔街日报》把这次讲座称为“一生难觅的最后的讲座”。在美国一些高校里,“最后的讲座”是著名教授退休前的最后一课。兰迪教授并没有准备退休,但是他患了胰腺癌,只剩下几个月的生命。这次讲座对他来说,竟真的是他一生中“最后的讲座”了。 我的亲友纷纷在电子邮件中向我推荐兰迪教授的此次讲座。我和女儿一起看了讲座的视频。看完后,我们感动地含着眼泪,同时又因为感悟和兴奋而相视一笑。我们像每一个听过讲座或看过讲座视频的人一样,激动的心情久久不能平息……”

A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.
