Randy Pausch
Are you a Tigger or an Eeyore?

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 underestimate the importance of having fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day because there's no other way to play it.
Randy Pausch
You can always change you plan, but only if you have one.
Randy Pausch
Complaining does not work as a strategy.
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
The best gift an educator can give is to get somebody to become self reflective.
Randy Pausch
Read at least one book a month. This is self-serving, obviously. It's a proven fact that people who read buy more books than people who don't read. In truth, I wish you'd read ten books a month, or at least buy that many.
Randy Pausch

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
Let other people finish their sentences when they’re talking.
Randy Pausch

Randy Pausch
Look for the best in everybody
Randy Pausch
A parent's job is to encourage kids to develop a joy for life and a great urge to follow their own dreams. The best we can do is to help thm develop a personal set of tools for the task.
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
I know that people in research labs can do miraculous things if they're given the resources.
Randy Pausch
We've placed a lot of emphasis in this country on the idea of people's rights. That's how it should be, but it makes no sense to talk about rights without also talking about responsibilities.
