Words from Randy Pausch

My friend Chris messaged me last night and said that he was watching a really motivational video about a professor who gave his “last lecture” because he is dying of cancer.  I watched the entire lecture (almost 2 hours) and I was amazed at the amazing energy coming from this guy.  Here’s some of the best advice from his lecture: 

• when you’re screwing up and nobody is saying anything, thats when they gave up on you. 
• experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
• brick walls are there to show us how badly we want something.  the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it.
• wait long enough, and people with impress and surprise you.
