Randy Pausch Giving Quotations

Never lose the childlike wonder. Show gratitude... Don't complain; just work harder... Never give up.

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.'

Never give up: There are certain times that you think, 'OK, you have beaten me down to my knees. And now the challenge is, I am on my knees and you keep on beating me down. And the question is, are you going to keep beating me all the way to the ground or will I find a way to struggle my way back on to my feet.

If you want something bad enough, never give up (and take a boost when offered).

Advice is very easy to give, and even easier not to follow, so I don't fool with it.

You will need to find your passion. Don't give up on finding it because then all you're doing is waiting for the Reaper.

Get a feedback loop and listen to it... When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it.

The best gift an educator can give, to get somebody to become self-reflective.
