Randy Pausch’s guide to leading your life:
Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you.
It’s very important to know when you’re in a pissing match and it’s very important to get out of it as quickly as possible.
Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things.
Brick walls let us show our dedication.
Never lose the childlike wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us.
Don’t bail; the best gold is at the bottom of the bails of crap.
When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it.
Be prepared: “Luck” is where preparation meets opportunity.
It’s not about how to achieve your dreams, it’s how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
