When 45-year-old Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic ( 胰腺)cancer, he chose to focus on living
rather than dying. As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a
"last lecture”. This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if
they were dying and had one last lecture to give.

delivered his last lecture, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” on Sept. 18, 2007.
Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved and the others he
hadn't. He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those
dreams, even if they don't always succeed He shared the values learned through experience, which he hoped to
pass on to others hard work, laughter and gratitude.honesty , character ,

October 2007, he presented an abridged ( 删节的)version on “The Oprah Winfrey Show". He turned the lecture
into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were deeply moved by the book's
representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his
three young children.

Believe it or not, nearly a fifth of older adults have contact with friends, family and neighbors less than once a
week. In the United Kingdom, that amounts to nearly 9 million residents who are isolated with little social contact.
In the United States, a 2019 survey on aging found 8% of older adults living alone who report feelings of
loneliness.
In Somerset, England, the local police found a way to fight social isolation. Local police chose a project that
was local, where they could see the change they’d enabled. Their “chat benches” appeared in local parks, where
they encourage strollers(散步者) to sit down and have a chat with a random stranger.
“The sign simply helps to break down the invisible, social barriers that exists between strangers who find
themselves sharing a common place. We can all play a part…” according to a spokesman for the police
department. “Simply stopping to say ‘hello’ to someone at the chat bench could make a huge difference to the
