Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

1. Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
   
2. The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out.
   The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
   Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people. 
   
3. Decide if you're Tigger or Eeyore. Never lose the childlike wonder.
   It's just too important. It's what drives us. Help others.
   
4. Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.
   
5. Anybody can get chewed out. It's the rare person who says, oh my god, you were right.When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it.
   
6. Don't complain. Just work harder.
   
7. Be good at something, it makes you valuable.
   
8. Be prepared. Luck is truly where preparation meets opportunity.
