*updated with quotes!

Couple of months back, I first heard about The Last Lecture on FB from Yong.

I thought it was mentioned in passing, you know, something for me to check out when I have time, until he passed it -newly bought in plastic bag- to me at our first meeting.

Now if someone did me an Act of Service, I know I had to followup on it (thanks Yong!):


I'm still holding onto it (sorry Yong :p) cos I wanna take down my favourite quotes (hard to scribble on a crowded train with no free hand) for this blog.
And I finally did! Take that, Procrastination!

Then I figured something even better - posting the actual lecture here:



Enjoy the ride =)

Quotes from The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch

"When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you."
You may not want to hear it, but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.

"When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it's really simple.
Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do."

"The brick walls are there for a reason. They're not there to keep us out.
They are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
They are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough.
They're there to stop the other people. "
