“If you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out... Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won't make us happier.”

“Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won't make us happier.”

“Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth the enrgy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.”

“I understand the arguments about how the billions of dollars spent to put men on the moon could have been used to fight poverty and hunger on Earth. But, look, I'm a scientist who sees inspiration as the ultimate tool for doing good. When you use money to fight poverty, it can be of great value, but too often, you're working at the margins. When you're putting people on the moon, you're inspiring all of us to achieve the maximum of human potential, which is how our greatest problems will eventually be solved. Give yourself permission to dream.”

“Don’t complain; just work harder.”

“The key question to keep asking is, Are you spending your time on the right things? Because time is all you have. ”

“Randy Pausch on time management:Here's what I know:Time must be explicitly managed, like money.You can always change your plan, but only if you have one.Ask yourself: Are you spending your time on the right things?Develop a good filing system.Rethink the telephone.Delegate.Take a time out.Time is all you have. And you may find one day that you have less than you think.”
