When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give 'a last lecture', he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed w/ terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasn't abt dying. It was abt the importance of overcoming obstacles, enabling the dreams of others, & seizing every moment (because time is all you have & you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was abt living. A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'.
