What I liked about The Last Lecture was that he did it for his kids, so he would continue to be a beacon for their lives even after he died. So what if the content was not original? For his kids it will be, because it was from their father. I wish I had a video of my late dad sharing his wisdom.
I also think that until we ourselves are looking death in the face, we don't know how we will behave. I can only hope that I will approach death with as much dignity, humour, and self-giving.
