The Last Lecture

The same day that I found out about Steve Jobs's speech I also heard about this one. And I have to say this is much much better.

This is not only speech but it is a lecture. And as the title already states it is "the last lecture". The lecturer was very good professor, Randy Pausch, from Carnegie Mellon University. It was his last lecture because he had an incurable cancer and he knew he will die really soon.

He made it very good and I recommend everyone to watch it, at least once. All the thing he says and especially the way he says it is just amazing. If all the lectures were half as good the schooling would never be a problem.

Randy shows how the lectures should be prepared, how one should lecture and why. See it for yourself.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates speeches

Quite a while ago, I have watched two very good speeches from very known persons (almost celebrities). They were speeches from Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to the students at their graduation.

While Steve was invited to Stanford (where he studied for really short time) and Bill was invited to Harvard (where he also studied for really short time). It is funny to know that they both are actually dropouts and never really finished their studies. But they are both successfully now and have as much money as one can have.

Even thou they never finished their studies they still know how to survive in today's world and they gave some really great pointers to all new graduates.

Worth watching.

Lost Worlds

If you happen to have too much time and you enjoy watching documentaries, this is a really good documentary series. As the title already tells us it's about lost worlds.

And both words "lost" and "worlds" have a broad meaning here. Yes most parts are about some lost civilizations or nations, but there are also parts that show us what happened in some specific time era in some places. For instance World War II Bunkers, Nuclear stations and more.

It is really fun to watch and you learn some new facts about ancient as well as near history.

Watch it. IMDB link.
