If you haven't had a chance to pick up Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture, do yourself a favor and do so. His story and successes in life are amazing, but his perspective even more so. It's full of many of Randy's thoughts on life and business that will really make you think. Here are a few of my favorite quotes that I like to keep in the back of my head, and ones that you can apply to life and business….
“Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome.”
“It’s pretty easy to be smart when you’re parroting smart people.”
“I probably got more from that dream and not accomplishing it than I got from any of the ones that I did accomplish.”
“You’ve got to get the fundamentals down because otherwise the fancy stuff isn’t going to work.”
“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.”
“Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.”
“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.”
