The Last Lecture
Many universities provide a forum for invited professors to present a "Last Lecture". The concept behind The Last Lecture series is that if the professor only had one Last Lecture to present, what vital message would they like to present to their audience.
Randy Pausch presented his "Last Lecture" on September 18, 2007 (see below), which, ironically, turned out to be one of his Last Lecture's, with a wonderful and inspiring message.

The Last Lecture
Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
Randy Pausch's presentation for "The Last Lecture" at Carnegie Mellon University, entitled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams", is one of the most powerful and inspiring videos I have watched in a long time, particularly when you get the full context as revealed in the video and accompanying book
YouTube Video - "The Last Lecture"
Dr. Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent a surgical procedure in September, 2006. In August, 2007, he was informed he had between three and six months of good health remaining. As a result, his presentation on September 18, 2007 was, quite literally, his Last Lecture.
Given the prognosis he faced, and having a young family, he felt he might best use the opportunity to pass on an important message, his legacy, to his children. His Last Lecture, therefore, became the medium for this message. It is inspirational.
The video of "The Last Lecture" is also available as The Last Lecture Unabridged Cd
on DVD.

- Integrated Success Program Group on Yahoo
- This group was created to discuss thoughts, opinions and interpretations originating, in part, from the classic personal development texts (James Allen, Charles Haanel, Napoleon Hill, etc.) and other related topics of interest (i.e. Law of Attraction, Creative Visualization).
Researching the power of the mind and, more specifically, the sub-conscious mind over the past twenty years has allowed me to discover of many gems of wisdom buried in these timeless texts, as well as more recently published texts. The recent release of "The Secret" has had the result of drawing considerable attention to the "LAW OF ATTRACTION", however, I believe the process underlying its application to one's life was missing from the movie.
Contrary to the hype attending release of "The Secret", the LAW OF ATTRACTION is not a recent discovery in metaphysics, nor has it been actively suppressed by the Church or hidden societies. It simply passed into relative obscurity through the passage of time. It has been, and remains, available to everyone who searches for it and is willing to actually apply it to their lives.
The formula is available, and is, in all likelihood, well known to most. In its simplest form, it was concisely summarized as follows:
Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives;
he who seeks finds;
and to him who knocks, the door will be opened
Matthew 7:7 (Luke (11:9) NIV
In short, visualize your desired outcome, then take the appropriate action to receive its manifestation. ACTION is an integral, necessary part of the three part formula to realize (manifest) your desired outcome.
