From the Quote of the Week Files; May 14, 2012

It is graduation month in the US and it marks a big step in a student's life. This week's quote is an excerpt from a Commencement Speech given by Dr. Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was told in Aug 2007 that he only had 3-6 months to live. When he gave this speech at Carnegie Mellon, it was the 9th month (May 2008). He later passed away 2 months after that.

“We don’t beat the reaper by living longer. We beat the reaper by living well and living fully. For the reaper is always going to come for all of us. The question is: What do we do between the time we are born, and the time he shows up? Because when he shows up, it’s too late to do all the things that you’re always gona, kinda get around to.”

"Wait long enough, and people will surprise and impress you." Sometimes, it might even take years, but people will show you their good side.  Just keep waiting."
