Randy Pausch
Don’t complain just work harder.

Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want
Randy Pausch
Brick walls are there for reason. And once you get over them-- even if someone has practically had to throw you over-- it can be helpful to others to tell them how you did it.
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
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.

When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you.
Randy Pausch
No job should, be beneath us. And if you can't(or won't) sort mail, Where is the proof that you can do anything?
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
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.
Randy Pausch
Respect authority while questioning it.
Randy Pausch
I am going to keep having fun every day I have left, because there is no other way of life. You just have to decide whether you are a Tigger or an Eeyore.
Randy Pausch
But I want her to grow up knowing that I was the first man ever to fall in love with her. I'd always thought the father/daughter thing was overstated. But I can tell you, sometimes, she looks at me and I just become a puddle.
Randy Pausch
We keep what is valuable to us, what we cherish.
Randy Pausch
If I was able to tell my story with the passion I felt, my lecture might help others find a path to fulfilling their own dreams.
Randy Pausch
somehow, with the passage of time, and the dealines that life imposes, surrending became the right thing to do
Randy Pausch
Never lose the child-like wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us. Help others.
Randy Pausch
I don't suffer from an abundance of politeness.
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
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.
