Last Lecture
You’ve got to get the fundamentals down, because otherwise the fancy stuff is not going to work.
When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve given up on you.
The 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.
Book : Forget the Last Lecture; Here’s the Real Story
Dailouge:
1st person: Don't die,you have to live.
2nd person : I already did that.
★Treat the Disease, Not the Symptom.
★ We should not worry about what other people think, we need to focus on our work.
Introduction for a Course
Meet people properly: It all starts with the introduction. Exchange contact information. Make sure you can pronounce everyone’s names.
Find things you have in common: You can almost always find something in common with another person, and from there, it’s much easier to address issues where you have differences. Sports cut across boundaries of race and wealth. And if nothing else, we all have the weather in common.
Try for optimal meeting conditions: Make sure no one is hungry, cold or tired. Meet over a meal if you can; food softens a meeting. That’s why they “do lunch” in Hollywood.
Let everyone talk: Don’t finish someone’s sentences. And talking louder or faster doesn’t make your idea any better.
Check egos at the door: When you discuss ideas, label them and write them down. The label should be descriptive of the idea, not the originator: “the bridge story” not “Jane’s story.”
Praise each other: Find something nice to say, even if it’s a stretch. The worst ideas can have silver linings if you look hard enough.
Phrase alternatives as questions: Instead of “I think we should do A, not B,” try “What if we did A, instead of B?” That allows people to offer comments rather than defend one choice.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity: That comes from Seneca, the Roman philosopher who was born in 5 B.C. It’ll be worth repeating for another two thousand years, at least.
Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right. That is from my cliché repertoire for incoming students.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? I’d say that to students as a reminder not to focus on little issues, while ignoring the major ones.
We should not create those stuff thas frustrated people and they want to destroy those. We should create user friendly stuff.
★The lost art of Hand Written thank Note:
Iy is best to write a hand made thank note when it possible it can make great impression.
★“Wow, you got tenure early,” they’d say to me. “What was your secret?”
I said, “It’s pretty simple. Call me any Friday night in my office at ten o’clock and I’ll tell you.”
★ Go out and do for others that someone did for you.
Proper apologies have three parts:
★ IF I could only give three words of advice, they would be “tell the truth.” If I got three more words, I’d add: “All the time.”
This practice save time and make a man honor.
