Randy Pausch Success Quotations

Success is measured in months for me. When my health fails, it will fail quickly. Tumors grow on an exponential curve.

A lot of people want a shortcut. I find the best shortcut is the long way, which is basically two words: work hard.

Be good at something. It makes you valuable. Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome.

Don’t complain; just work harder.

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.
