The Last Lecture

By Edward Poll, J.D., M.B.A., CMC

A new book, The Last Lecture, is written by someone not so lucky. He died at a young age.  But before dying, his "last lecture" was videotaped; it inspired many people.

The author said that he had "to keep having fun every day I have left, because there's no other way to play it."
