TEN THOUGHTS FROM PROFESSOR RANDY PAUSCH –
AUTHOR OF “THE LAST LETURE”

Here are ten quotes from the late professor . . .

1. “I don't know how not to have fun — I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left because there's no other way to play.”

2. “Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.”

3. “Brick walls are there for a reason. They let us prove how badly we want things.”

4. “Brick walls let us show our dedication. They are there to separate us from the people who don't really want to achieve their childhood dreams.”

5. “The best way to teach somebody something is to have them think they're learning something else.”

6. “Loyalty is a two-way street.”

7. “Don't bail: The best of the gold is at the bottom of the barrel of crap.”

8. “When people give you feedback -- cherish it and use it.”

9. “Don't complain — just work harder.”

10. “Never give up. Anything is possible.”

BEST DEFINITION OF SUCCESS...EVER!

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was a poet and philosopher. He also might have been America 's first motivational speaker. In addition, he was an inspirational writer.

Emerson gave us the best definition of success I've ever come across:

“To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you lived.

This is the meaning of success.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
