long waiting matter
Find the best in everybody, no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it
patience long people
Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you.
couple long together
All my adult life I've felt drawn to ask long-married couples how they were able to stay together. All of them said the same thing: "We worked hard at it.
long hips last-lecture
I'll take an earnest person over a hip person every day, because hip is short term. Earnest is long term.
simple men long
My colleague told me: "It took a long time, but I finally figured it out. 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.
long evil 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.
inspiring compassion long
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.
long matter life-is
We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn't matter. Life is to be lived.
friends years long
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.
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.
