As a teacher/researcher, what message you will convey to your students in your last lecture of life !
We need to tell them that our life in itself is a lab. You come across many situations, trials and tribulations which are like experimental challenges and they need to face it bravely and need to learn forever from not only their own experiences but also others experiences. Learning never stops and they have to keep themselves abreast of the state-of-the-art knowledge to keep themselves on the toes.
I always say the same: what for will be lecture topic and how to use it in the rest of researcher's or just their life.

Guess you already know it, but just in case.

Teaching is the noblest profession and one should opt for this profession if one feels happy in giving.
A teacher is responsible for moulding next generation for about more than 40 years and therefore one should be honest to this profession and free from all prejudices.
Every single day of our life brings a lesson, so life itself a teacher. I believe that hard working, punctuality and sense of responsibility are the keys of the success in life.
I will say to them: You should benefit from every part of the course, whether in work or in life

Whatever you are, you should never give up .....
Any failure is not the end, you have to link yourself to goals and not people, and you have to know that life is a battle to stay in: the stronger, the better and better

The same as on the first day. Keep your head down working until the job/thesis/dissertation is done.
Live to the best of your potential. Find your priorities and make the hard choices so you can truly live life.

This link is about last lecture by Randy Pausch before his impeding death.
Thank you for your wonderful thoughts.
Last lecture ...might be the summary of life's learnings with an emotional mode... Could be a means to share all the love that you have for your students and rarely expressed.
I would tell to my students what Newton said once referring to himself:
- (You are) ... Standing on the shoulder of Giants....
This means dear students that good teachers are fundamental to learn and increase your knowledge but, as Newton did, you can reach even higher targets and achievements by standing on the shoulder of who came before you ...
"Do not give your back to your teachers after graduation" Aly R Abdel-Moemin
Solve every problem (even private) as carefully as possible - sacrifice your time. Every other approach will be more expensive.
Never think that the world revolves around your discipline. Knowledge is much wider than being encapsulated in one domain. So set your minds free and try to find new perspectives to look at old problems. It may be worthy to reinvent the wheel.
