RIP Randy Pausch

Some quotes from Randy's "Last Lecture" and other speeches:

• Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
• We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play them.
• Brick walls are there to let us prove how badly we want something.
• Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you.
• Don't bail - the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap.
• Don't complain, just work harder.
• Be good at something, it makes you valuable.
• You might have to wait years, but people will eventually show you their good side - not everyone is all evil.
• Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.
• We beat the reaper by living well and living fully.
• It's not the things we do in life we regret on our deathbed, it's the things we don't.
• When people ride you hard, it means they care. When you're doing a bad job and no one says anything, it means they've given up on you.
• It's not about how to achieve your dreams, its about how you live your life. Live your life right, the dreams will come to you.
• The pioneers are the ones that have arrows in their backs.
