For students and everyone else - the best advice you will ever get

While this post is meant for students at any level of schooling in their student life, it is as useful if not more, for everyone else as well.

Many of you, especially those who are in the US, must already be aware of this - there was this professor of Computer Science by the name of Randy Pausch at Carnegie Mellon University. He was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in 2006 and he died of it in 2008. In September 2007 he delivered this one lecture as part of Carnegie Mellon's 'The Last Lecture' series. As Randy Pausch was terminally ill, this literally was his 'Last Lecture'.

Embedded below you'll find two of his lectures - The Last Lecture, and a lecture on Time Management. This is some of the best advice that a student can get.
