Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.
Randy PauschRead
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.
Interpretation
What this quote means
True passion comes from within and is nurtured by relationships rather than material possessions.
Randy Pausch emphasizes the importance of discovering one's passion as a deeply personal journey that is not dictated by external factors such as money or material goods. He suggests that genuine passion is rooted in our internal motivations and significantly influenced by the quality of our relationships, as well as how we are perceived by others at the end of our lives, underscoring the notion that fulfillment is found in human connections rather than in wealth.

I think that we all stand on the dartboard of life. Roughly 30,000 people a year are going to catch a dart labeled pancreatic cancer, and that's unfortunate. It's not what I would have chosen. But I in no way feel like I deserved it.

You want to get to the top of the cliff. But that's not what you focus on immediately. You focus on the next ledge just beyond your reach, because you need to do one clever thing to get up there. And then, once you get there, you do it again. A lot of this is rather boring and not very glamorous. But you can't jump cliffs in a single bound.
