I saw this video months ago- and I never get tired of watching it. Its a video of Randy Paush, a Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who is dying of Pancreatic Cancer.
-We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.
-When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are your ones telling you they still love you and care.
-You just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore.
-Loyalty is a two way street.You can’t get there alone. People have to help you and I do believe in karma. I believe in paybacks.
-You get people to help you by telling the truth. Being earnest.
-Apologise when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.
-Don’t bail. The best of the gold’s at the bottom of barrels of crap.
-Don’t complain. Just work harder. That’s a picture of Jackie Robinson. It was in his contract not to complain, even when the fans spit on him.
-Find the best in everybody. Just keep waiting no matter how long it takes. No one is all evil. Everybody has a good side, just keep waiting, it will come out.
-It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
And My Favorite:
-Be willing to apologize. Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I’m sorry that I hurt you. 3) How do I make it better? It’s the third part that people tend to forget…. Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.
