teaching thinking way
The best way to teach somebody something is to have them think they're learning something else.
passion thinking people
Find your passion and follow it. You wont find that passion in things or money. Your passion must come from what fuels you from the inside. It will be grounded in the relationships you have with people and what they think of you when your time comes.
thinking worst-case-scenario cases
Often think of the worst-case scenario, the "Eaten By Wolves" factor.
lying thinking people
Most people who have told a lie think they got away with it … when in fact, they didn’t
kids thinking coaches
A coach yells at the kid he thinks can improve but the coach will not yell at the kid who he/she knows won't.
fashion thinking people
The fact that fashion goes out of fashion and then comes back into fashion based solely on what a few people somewhere think they can sell, well to me, that’s insanity.
thinking one-day may
Randy Pausch on time management: Here's what I know: Time must be explicitly managed, like money. You can always change your plan, but only if you have one. Ask yourself: Are you spending your time on the right things? Develop a good filing system. Rethink the telephone. Delegate. Take a time out. Time is all you have. And you may find one day that you have less than you think.
thinking lunch phones
Want to have a short phone call with someone? Call them at 11:55 a.m., right before lunch. They'll talk fast. You may think you are interesting, but you are not more interesting than lunch.
dream thinking nfl
And even though I did not reach the NFL, I sometimes think I got more from persuing that dream, and not accomplishing it, then I did from many of the ones I did accomplish.
life thinking one-day
Time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think.
attitude thinking worst-case-scenario
Another way to be prepared is to think negatively. Yes, I'm a great optimist. but, when trying to make a decision, I often think of the worst case scenario. I call it 'the eaten by wolves factor.' If I do something, what's the most terrible thing that could happen? Would I be eaten by wolves? One thing that makes it possible to be an optimist, is if you have a contingency plan for when all hell breaks loose. There are a lot of things I don't worry about, because I have a plan in place if they do.
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.
