Beloved Professor with Weeks to Live Delivers Touching Final Lecture
Simply beautiful. Some of my favorite moments from his lecture:
- Don’t write people off. Give them time and they will surprise you.
- Tenacity is a virtue. Not getting what you want is the most valuable experience you can have.

Very moving and uplifting, but do you think it takes the realization of how limited one’s time is to actually make the most of it?
