dad days hard inherited kids though usual
Chemo days make me tired, though it's hard to say that's because of the chemo when you have kids who have inherited their dad's usual energy level.
die few hard kids last lemonade lemons particular physically squeeze
The particular way I'm going to die is not going to be particularly pleasant. It will probably be physically uncomfortable, and it won't be an easy thing for my wife and kids to watch. I think it will be a real challenge to see if I can squeeze the lemons hard enough to still get lemonade the last few weeks.
hard people
It's hard to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer - people who get it don't live long enough.
hard-work waiting complaining
I feel like I'm waiting on something that isn't going to happen Don't complain; just work harder.
hard-work writing voice
I have never thought of writing as hard work, but I have worked hard to find a voice.
hard-work needs students
We need to make sure our students are exerting themselves. We need to praise them when they deserve it and to tell them honestly when they have it in them to work harder,
success determination hard-work
A lot of people want a shortcut. I find the best shortcut is the long way, which is basically two words: work hard.
hard-work today tomorrow
If I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can't do today.
moving last-lecture hard
It's not how hard you hit. It's how hard you get hit...and keep moving forward.
hurt apology three
Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I feel badly that I hurt you. 3) How do I make this better?
love-you care last-lecture
When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care.
change life lots people talk
Cancer didn't change me at all. I know lots of people talk about the life revelation. I didn't have that.
academic knew last
There's an academic tradition called the 'Last Lecture.' Hypothetically, if you knew you were going to die and you had one last lecture, what would you say to your students? Well, for me, there's an elephant in the room. And the elephant in the room, for me, it wasn't hypothetical.
takes time
Smelling a crayon takes you right back to childhood. When I need to go back in time, I put it under my nose and take another hit.
