The Last Lecture Poem
If you've heard the story of Randy Pausch, the former professor diagnosed with terminal cancer, you know that sometimes the most important thing you can impart is knowledge. With his best-selling book The Last Lecture Randy inspired many to live with wonder and courage. So inspired by his lecture, gift a recent graduate with some of the knowledge you've collected during your lifetime.

  • Write down 25 things that you've learned.
  • Ask yourself as Randy Pausch did: What wisdom would we impart to the

    world if we knew it was our last chance?
  • These can range from life lessons, to humerous anecdotes and even the occasional practical piece of knowledge.
  • write a brief, personalized preface to the poem. This can be a letter to the recent graduate or ruminations on the importance of knowledge gained and passed on.
  • Title your poem: 25 Things Worth Knowing, or Things I've Learned
*You can also base the poem around the "Best Advice You've Ever Been Given," or "The Best Things You've Been Taught"
