Pieces of advise from
Randy Pausch.
"You just have to decide if you're a Tigger or an Eeyore."
"Never lose the childlike wonder. It's just too important. It's what drives us."
"Loyalty is a two way street."
"You get people to help you by telling the truth. Being earnest. I'll take an earnest person over a hip person every day, because hip is short term. Earnest is long term."
"Apologize when you screw up."
"Show gratitude."
"Remember 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."
"Don't bail. The best of the gold's at the bottom of barrels of crap."
"Anybody can get chewed out. It's the rare person who says, oh my god, you were right. As opposed to, no wait, the real reason is… We've all heard that. When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it."
"Don't complain. Just work harder."
"Be good at something, it makes you valuable."
"Find the best in everybody. Just keep waiting no matter how long it takes. No one is all evil. Everybody has a good side, just keep waiting, it will come out."
"And be prepared. Luck is truly where preparation meets opportunity."
