If you’re going to have childhood dreams you should have great parents who let you pursue them and express your creativity

Anything is possible, and that’s something we should not lose sight of. The inspiration and the permission to dream is huge.

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.

When you do the right thing, good stuff has a way of happening.

When we're connected to others, we become better people.

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.

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