只剩六個月壽命的大學教授Randy Pausch，會留給我們什麼精采的人生對話呢？

🏈Open the encyclopedia. Open the dictionary. Open your mind.
🏈You've got to get the fundamentals down, because otherwise the fancy stuff is not going to work.
🏈Self-esteem is not something you can give; it's something children have to build.
🏈Tenacity is a virtue.
🏈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.
🏈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.
🏈Live in the moment.
🏈Luck is indeed where preparation meets opportunity.
🏈Do not focus on little issues while ignoring the major ones.
🏈The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.

🏈If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.

🎾If I were able to live, we'd be making those mistakes together.表「與現在事實相反」的假設語氣應用過去式，而此時be動詞固定使用were。本句亦可倒裝為：Were I able to live, ...
