When there’s an elephant in the room introduce him...


“The key question to keep asking is, Are you spending your time on the right things? Because time is all you have. ” 
“Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.” 
“When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve given up on you.” 
“Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress. When you’re pissed off at someone and you’re angry at them, you just haven’t given them enough time. Just give them a little more time and they almost always will impress you.” 
“A lot of people want a shortcut. I find the best shortcut is the long way, which is basically two words: work hard.” 
“Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough, and people will surprise and impress you. It might even take years, but people will show you their good side. Just keep waiting.” 
“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.” 
“The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.” 

He was a wise man. So eager to always be finding the good things in life. I guess that's what a true optimist is. (Randy Pausch)
