Wisdom from Randy Pausch

Caroline gave me an excellent book for Christmas... "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch.   In it he shares his wisdom and some of how he lived his life after a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

"Too many people go through life complaining about their problems.  I've always believed that if you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out."

"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want."
