94年15周年聚会筹委第1次会议

星期一传了大概40多则短讯给94年毕业的同学,邀请他们出席讨论筹备聚会的事项。回复不能出席的只有3人,能出席的就只有4人,其余的完全没有消息。我相当失望,好像有点一厢情愿那种感觉。不过我坚持会议照开,我相信凭几个热心的同学协助一起出力也能把聚会搞得有声有色。

说好了这一刻不掉泪

下文摘录自 http://blogs.myoops.org/lucifer.php/2007/11/08/randypausch,作者:朱学恒/台湾

007年9月18日,距離他手術正好整整一年之後,站在卡內基美隆大學講台上的Randy Pausch是受到上帝祝福的。他光彩迸發,神采奕奕的踏上講台,分享自己的快意人生,希望為這個世界留下他的智慧與傳承。

你看過就知道,他做到了。

我想,Randy Pausch教授,上帝給予你的任務都已經完成了,剩下來的時間都是屬於你和你家人的了,請繼續帶著笑容過下去喔!

但我也相信,我也看到了某些特別的事物。在所有上台的人中,有校長、有恩師、有好友、有長輩,但不論他們怎麼傷悲,如何難過,每個人都強忍著在台上 說著笑話,不願意掉下一滴眼淚;因為,他們很清楚Randy Pausch即使走到了生命的最後一刻,都希望能夠開開心心,帶著笑容享受生命的每一分每一秒,而在這樣的時刻,笑容顯得比淚水更有價值,也更珍貴。

所以,只有Randy認為比夢想更重要的妻子Jai能夠在台上落淚,其他人都必須要留下淚水,等待將來某一天再派上用場……

所以,我沒有掉眼淚喔!請你們在看演講的時候,也不要掉眼淚喔!

我一生都愛唱戲,
最難的是曲終落幕、轉身下台前,
最後那幾個台步,
一個漂亮的背影。

—-台灣前海基會董事長辜振甫

Randy Pausch留下了他的背影,他的精神也會繼續活在他所創辦的娛樂科技中心、ALICE計畫當中。

在整場演講到了最後幾分鐘,校長宣布將建造一座橋紀念Randy的貢獻時,在過去九十分鐘內沒有落下一滴眼淚的Randy輕輕擦了擦眼角,緊握住妻子的手….

也許他在想著有一天孩子們手牽著手,回到校園時看到這座橋的樣子吧!
孩子們會問:「媽媽,為什麼這座橋的名字跟爸爸的名字一樣?」
而那時,媽媽會告訴他們,爸爸是個多麼偉大的人…

我就像摩西一樣…
可以看到應許之地,卻無法踏足其上。
沒關係的,因為我其實可以看見那未來。
那景象十分的清晰:
數以百萬計的兒童,
能自得其樂的學習困難的事物。
這才是真正酷的未來。
這就是我留給這世界的傳承。

The Last Lecture,作者自序

摘录自“The Last Lecture”  / by Randy Pausch

I have an engineering problem.

While for the the mos part I’m in terrific physical shape, I have ten tumors in my liver and I have only a few months left to live.

I am a father of three young children, and married to the woman of my dreams.  While I could easily feed story for myself, that wouldn’t do them, or me any good.

So, how to spend my very limited time?

The obvious part is being with, and taking care of, my family.  While I still can, I embrace every moment with them, and do the logistical things necessary to ease their path into a life without me.

The less obvious part is how to teach my children what I would have taught them over the next twenty years.  They are too young now to have those conversation.  All parents want to teach their children right from wrong, what we think is important, and how to deal with the challenges life will bring.  We also want them to know some stories from our own lives, often as a way to teach how to lead theirs. my desire to do that led me to give a “last lecture” at Carnegie Mellon University.

These lectures are routinely videotaped.  I knew what I was doing that day.  Under the ruse of giving an academic lecture, I was trying to put myself in a bottle that would one day wash up on the beach for my children.  If I were a painter, I would have painted for them.  If I were a musician, I would have composed music.  But I am a lecturer.  So I lectured.

I lectured about the joy of life, about how much I appreciated life, even with so little of my own left.  I talked about honesty, integrity, gratitude, and other things I hold dear.  And I tried very hard not to be boring.

This book is a way for me to continue what I began on stage.  Because time is precious, and I want to spend all that I can with my kids, I asked Jeffrey Zaslow for help.  Each day, I ride my bike around my neighborhood, getting exercise crucial for my health.  On fifty-three long bike rides, I spoke to Jeff on my cell-phone headset.  He then spent countless hours helping to turn my stories — I suppose we could call them fifty-three “lectures”  —into the book that follows.

We knew right from the start: None of this is a replacement for a living parent.  But engineering isn’t about perfect solutions; it’s about doing the best you can with limited resources.  Both the lecture and this book are my attempts to do exactly that.
