Whatever news we get about the scans, Iโm not going to die when we hear it. I wonโt die the next day, or the day after that, or the day after that. So today, right now, well this is a wonderful day. And I want you to know how much Iโm enjoying it.โ I thought about that, and about Jaiโs smile. I knew then. Thatโs the way the rest of my life would need to be lived.
Randy PauschThere's a lot of talk these days about giving children self-esteem. It's not something you can give; it's something they have to build.
Randy PauschThe most difficult part of writing a book is not devising a plot which will captivate the reader. It's not developing characters the reader will have strong feelings for or against. It is not finding a setting which will take the reader to a place he or she as never been. It is not the research, whether in fiction or non-fiction. The most difficult task facing a writer is to find the voice in which to tell the story.
