“We cannot change the cards we are dealt‚ just how we play the hand.” -Randy Pausch The Last Lecture can teach a lot about the importance of life.

He was asked to give a last lecture as many professors are‚ except he wouldn’t need to pretend it was his last because he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

What I found to be particularly interesting in the lecture “Heresy Lecture Part One” was the practice of piety.
