teaching thinking way
The best way to teach somebody something is to have them think they're learning something else.
way looks last-lecture
Look, I'm going to find a way to be happy, and I'd really love to be happy with you, but if I can't be happy with you, then I'll find a way to be happy without you.
way opening ifs
If you can find an opening, you can probably find a way to float through it.
stuff way last-lecture
When you do the right thing, good stuff has a way of happening.
home parent way
Call home at least once a week. It's a proven fact that we call home less the older we get. And that's wrong. It should be the other way around. As we get older, our parents get older.
loss way profit
There are more ways than one to measure profits and losses.
fun way tigger
I am going to keep having fun every day I have left, because there is no other way of life. You just have to decide whether you are a Tigger or an Eeyore.
doctor great helps relish took
My mother took great relish in introducing me as 'This is my son - he's a doctor but not the kind that helps people.'
beat tried
I'm not going to beat the cancer. I tried really hard... but sometimes you're just not going to beat the thing... I wanted to walk off the stage and say anything I thought was important; I had my hour.
field games knew played scoreboard walk
I played in football games where you walk off the field and the scoreboard didn't end up the way you wanted. But you knew that you really did give it all. And the other team was too strong.
life
There's nothing about my life that I would have changed.
grow health measured months success
Success is measured in months for me. When my health fails, it will fail quickly. Tumors grow on an exponential curve.
kids
If your kids want to paint their bedrooms, as a favor to me, let 'em do it.
entirely family time
I've said my piece. My time now is entirely focused on family.
