Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress. When you're pissed off at someone and you're angry at them, you just haven't given them enough time. Just give them a little more time and they almost always will impress you.

More quotes by Randy Pausch
No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse.
Randy Pausch
Often think of the worst-case scenario, the Eaten By Wolves factor.
Randy Pausch
Be willing to apologize. Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I'm sorry that I hurt you. 3) How do I make it better? It's the third part that people tend to forget. Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.
Randy Pausch
If I could only give three words of advice, they would be, 'Tell the truth.' If I got three more words, I'd add: 'All the time.'
Randy Pausch
There are more ways than one to measure profits and losses.
Randy Pausch
Call home at least once a week. It's a proven fact that we call home less the older we get. And that's wrong. It should be the other way around. As we get older, our parents get older.
Randy Pausch
Never lose the child-like wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us. Help others.
Randy Pausch
Sometimes you can't pay it back, so you just have to pay it forward.
Randy Pausch
I know that people in research labs can do miraculous things if they're given the resources.
Randy Pausch
I'm a professor - there should be some lessons learned - and how you can use the stuff you hear today to enable your dreams or enable the dreams of others. And as you get older you may find that enabling-the-dreams-of-others thing is even more fun.
Randy Pausch
I don't suffer from an abundance of politeness.
Randy Pausch
Are you a Tigger or an Eeyore?
Randy Pausch
Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.
Randy Pausch
I’d compare college tuition to paying for a personal trainer at an athletic club. We professors play the roles of trainers, giving people access to the equipment (books, labs, our expertise) and after that, it is our job to be demanding.
Randy Pausch
To be cliché, death is a part of life and it's going to happen to all of us. I have the blessing of getting a little bit of advance notice and I am able to optimize my use of time down the home stretch.
Randy Pausch
It's a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.
Randy Pausch
Everyone has to contribute to the common good. To not do so can be described in one word: selfish.
Randy Pausch
Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other.
Randy Pausch
If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?
Randy Pausch
Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth the enrgy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.
