More quotes by Randy Pausch

We can't change it. We have to decide how we'll respond.
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
Want to have a short phone call with someone? Call them at 11:55 a.m., right before lunch. They'll talk fast. You may think you are interesting, but you are not more interesting than lunch.
Randy Pausch
The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.
Randy Pausch
Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.
Randy Pausch
The number one goal of teachers should be to help students learn how to learn.
Randy Pausch
Remember how quickly our field [computer science] changes. That's why you want to focus on learning things that don't change: how to work well with other people, how to carefully assess a client's real - as opposed to perceived - needs, and things like that.
Randy Pausch
Experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.
Randy Pausch
You will need to find your passion. Don't give up on finding it because then all you're doing is waiting for the Reaper.
Randy Pausch
Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other.
Randy Pausch
Anybody can get chewed out. It's the rare person who says, oh my god, you were right. As opposed to, no wait, the reason is... We've all heard that
