Believe in your dreams 9 year old boy ( Believe in
your children and those you love .

Randy Pausch was a computer science
professor at Carnegie Mellon University,
in Pennsylvania

be able to remember him and to know
who their father was !
All the things he loved was rooted
in the dreams and goals he had as
a child.

He had his wife Jai come up to stage. They
embraced and kissed one another and she
whispers in Randy's ear "Please don't die."
Then they said their good-byes to the audience
and left the stage. It was Randy's last lecture.

you can probably find a way
to float through it."
5) "When you're screwing up
and nobody says anything to you
anymore, that means they've given
up on you." ( Words by his assistant
football coach. )
note: Your critics are your ones
telling you they still love you
and care.
6) " Brick Walls are there for a
reason. they're not there to
keep us out . The brick walls
are there to give us a chance
to show how badly we want
something."

intense conviction and
determination.
Earnest people are very
serious and sincere in
what they say or do,
because they think that their
actions and beliefs are important.
14) "Don't complain, just
work harder."
Complaining does not work
as a strategy. We all have finite

happier."

good side. Just keep waiting. It
will come out."

you wanted. And experience
is often the most valuable thing
you have to offer."

notes and letters when one is able
to do so. He said , "It's just the
nice thing to do. And you never
know what magic might happen
after it arrives in someone's mailbox."
19) "A bad apology is worse than
no apology."
Here are three ways to apologize:
1) Say I'm sorry
2) It was my fault
3) Make it right
20) "Tell the truth all the time."
21) No job is beneath you."
"You ought to be thrilled you
got a job and when you get
there , be really good at it."
22) "Never give up" ...."Brick
walls are there for a reason. And once
you get over them---even if someone
has practically had to throw you
over---it can be helpful to others
to tell them how you did it."
23) "When we are connected
to others, we become better
people." (by Randy's father)
24)" Be good at something
it makes you valuable."
25) "Cherish feedback and
show gratitude ."
26)"It's not about how to
achieve your dreams. It's
about how to lead your life.
If you lead your life the
right way, the karma will
take care of itself.
The dreams will come to you."

Matthew Ch. 6 Verses 5-8
Jesus taught ,"When you pray, do not be
like the hypocrites, for they love to pray
standing in the synagogues and on the
street corners to be seen by men...but
when you pray, go into your room,
close the door and pray to your father
who is unseen."
________________________
note: Jesus said that prayer should be
a private time between God and the worshipper.
Jesus does not mean that it is wrong to
pray with others, but the prayers
should be sincere and for the right
motives.

Luke Ch. 6 Verse 12
In these days he went out to the
mountain to pray , and all night he
continued in prayer to God.
Matthew Ch.14 Verse 23
And after he had dismissed the crowds,
he went up on the mountain by himself to
pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
Luke Ch. 5 Verses 15-16
But now even more the report about him
went abroad, and great crowds gathered
to hear him and to be healed of their
infirmities . But he would withdraw to
desolate placed and pray.
Mark Ch. 1 Verse 35
And rising very early in the morning , while it
was still dark, he departed and went out to
a desolate place, and there he prayed.
Ephesians Ch. 6 Verse 18
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all
prayer and supplication. To that end keep
alert with all perseverance, making supplication
for all the saints.
Matthew Ch.6 Verses 1-34
"Beware of practicing your righteousness
before other people in order to be seen by
them, for then you will have no reward from
your Father who is in heaven. "Thus, when
you give to the needy , sound no trumpet before
you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in
the streets, that they may be praised by others.
Truly, I say to you, they have received their
reward. But when you give to the needy,
do not let your left hand know what your
right hand is doing, so that your giving may
be in secret. and your Father who sees in
secret will reward you. 'And when you
pray, you must not be like the
hypocrites. for they love to stand and pray
in the synagogues and at the street corners.
that they may be seen by others. Truly , I
say to you, they have received their reward...
