I am flattered and embarassed by all the recent attention to my "Last Lecture." I am told that, including abridged versions, over six million people have viewed the lecture online. The lecture really was for my kids, but if others are finding value in it, that is wonderful. But rest assured; I'm hardly unique. Send your kids to Carnegie Mellon and the other professors here will teach them valuable life lessons long after I'm gone. -- Randy

Kiyosi Seike
b Kyoto, 13 Dec 1918). Japanese architect. He studied at Tokyo University of Arts as well as Tokyo Institute of Technology (where he was also to teach from 1946).
