I have an engineering problem. While, for the most part, I am in terrific shape, I have ten tumors in my liver and I have only a few months left to live. I am a father of three young children and married to the woman of my dreams. While I could easily feel sorry for myself, that wouldnt do them, or me, any good. So, how to spend my very limited time? The obvious part is being with, and taking care of, my family. While I still can, I embrace every moment with them and do the logical things necessary to ease their path into a life without me. The less obvious part is how to teach my children what I would have taught them over the next twenty years. They are too young now to have those conversations. All parents want to teach their children right from wrong, what we think is important, and how to deal with the challenges life will bring. We also want them to know some stories from our own lives, often as a way to teach them how to lead theirs. My desire to do that led me to give a last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University. I lectured about the joy of life, about how much I appreciated life, even with so little of my own left. I talked about honesty, integrity, gratitude, and other things that I hold dear. And I tried very hard not to be boring. A lot of professors give talks titled The Last Lecture. Maybe youve even seen one. It has become a common exercise on college campuses. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences cant help but mull the same question: What wisdom would you 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? After reflecting on the information that you just read, reflect on the important dreams that you had as a child as well as the dreams that you have right now. If you were told that you have a limited amount of time maybe six months to live what lessons of life would you write about so that your children could remember the best of you? What wisdom would you impart to them? Focus on some wonderful occurrences from your life as well as some hurtful or even painful ones, and guide your children in the right direction as a result of the lessons you learned and the memories you have. Describe those events and discuss what you learned from them. How do you want to be remembered? Tell your story, and write an essay that will be both touching and inspirational.
