What do you mean you haven't heard of The Last Lecture? Have you been under a rock? Go watch it immediately [ link ]. It's an hour of company time well spent.

To catch you up, each year at a series known as The Last Lecture, a Carnegie Mellon University faculty member is asked to deliver what would hypothetically be a final speech to their students before dying.
