Experience is what you get when you didnt get what you wanted. — Randy Pausch

"A good apology is like antibiotic, a bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound."

"You can always change your plan, but only if you have one.."

"The brick walls are there for a reason. 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. The brick walls are there to stop the people who dont want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!"

"Its very important to know when youre in a pissing match. And its very important to get out of it as quickly as possible."

"Remember brick walls let us show our dedication. They are there to separate us from the people who dont really want to achieve their childhood dreams."

"My dad was so full of life, anything with him was an adventure. [Shows picture of his Dad holding a brown paper bag] I don’t know what’s in that bag, but I know it’s cool. My dad dressed up as Santa Claus, but he also did very, very significant things to help lots of people. This is a dormitory in Thailand that my mom and dad underwrote. And every year about 30 students get to go to school who wouldn’t have otherwise. This is something my wife and I have also been involved in heavily. And these are the kind of things that I think everybody ought to be doing. Helping others."
