Last Lecture

    So there's this book I read recently called The Last Lecture about how sometimes college professors give a lecture as if it were their last before the die - yet in this case this lecture was by a professor who had terminal cancer, and it really kind of was his last lecture. (kind of because he ended up having enough time to turn his lecture into a book)

    So what would you want to tell the world if you were holding a last lecture? What do you think is most important for others to know about Earth, other people, life etc.?
     
    Well, as much as we can all share what we think is right, there really isn't anything that we know is "right." What people thought was right 1000 years ago turned out to be wrong (usually through science). We could however share what we experienced in life that didn't work. But that's not really advice either since in most things, if it didn't work for one person it doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.

    My last lecture would be... honest and sincere service. Do more for others and stop being so selfish. I'm not talking about big things either, big things will come naturally. I also don't mean to serve everyone, do it to those that you feel will do it also to someone else.
