Randy Pausch quotes

Randy Pausch*, The Last Lecture
(selected 18 of 258)

“Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.”

“The key question to keep asking is, Are you spending your time on the right things? Because time is all you have.”

“No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse.”

“Look, I'm going to find a way to be happy, and I'd really love to be happy with you, but if I can't be happy with you, then I'll find a way to be happy without you.”

“Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.”

“Time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think.”

“Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.”

“The questions are always more important than the answers.”

“Believe nothing a man tells you and everything he shows you"....(Taken from a farewell video from a dying father to his infant daughter on dating).”

“A good apology is like antibiotic, a bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound.”

“You can always change you plan, but only if you have one.”

“One thing that makes it possible to be an optimist is if you have a contingency plan for when all hell breaks loose.”

“Want to have a short phone call with someone? Call them at 11:55 a.m., right before lunch. They'll talk fast. You may think you are interesting, but you are not more interesting than lunch.”

“We've placed a lot of emphasis in this country on the idea of people's rights. That's how it should be, but it makes no sense to talk about rights without also talking about responsibilities.”

“If I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can't do today.”

“It took a long time, but I've finally figured it out. When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it's really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do.”

“Complaining does not work as a strategy. ”

“Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories and they will figure out how those stories apply to them.”
