Randy Pausch Quotations | Page 3

If your kids want to paint their bedrooms, as a favor to me, let 'em do it.

I've said my piece. My time now is entirely focused on family.

I am dying soon, and I am choosing to have fun today, tomorrow and every other day I have left.

I will take an earnest person over a hip person every day, because hip is short-term, earnest is long-term.

I'm a professor. I know that people in research labs can do miraculous things if they're given the resources.

Find the best in everybody, no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it

Throughout my academic career, I'd given some pretty good talks. But being considered the best speaker in the computer science department is like being known as the tallest of the Seven Dwarfs.

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

I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left.

Find your passion and follow it. You wont find that passion in things or money. Your passion must come from what fuels you from the inside. It will be grounded in the relationships you have with people and what they think of you when your time comes.
