Follow your passions, believe in karma, and you won't have to chase your dreams, they will come to you.

I'm a professor - there should be some lessons learned - and how you can use the stuff you hear today to enable your dreams or enable the dreams of others. And as you get older you may find that enabling-the-dreams-of-others thing is even more fun.

You may not want to hear it, but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.

And even though I did not reach the National Football League, I sometimes think I got more from pursuing that dream, and not accomplishing it, than I did from many of the ones I did accomplish.

There are more ways than one to measure profits and losses.

Randy Pausch on time management: Here's what I know: Time must be explicitly managed, like money. You can always change your plan, but only if you have one. Ask yourself: Are you spending your time on the right things? Develop a good filing system. Rethink the telephone. Delegate. Take a time out. Time is all you have. And you may find one day that you have less than you think.

You will need to find your passion. Don't give up on finding it because then all you're doing is waiting for the Reaper.
