In US universities, there is a tradition of «last lectures» in which retired professors share with students their thoughts on the path they have traveled and on everything that seems important to them. Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, gave his last lecture knowing he had pancreatic cancer and had only a few months to live. “I have three small children. I am married to the woman of my dreams. I could feel sorry for myself, but I understand that this will not do anything good for me or them, Pausch wrote in his book, which became a bestseller in the United States in a few days. “So how should I use the short time allotted to me?” The answer to this question is in the message left to each of us.
