Remember brick walls let us show our dedication. They are there to separate us from the people who don't really want to achieve their childhood dreams.

More from Randy Pausch & related wisdom
The news isn’t how bad things are. The news is how good they could be. And our own activity could be part of the unfolding of Heaven on earth. There is no more powerful motivation than to feel we’re being used in the creation of a world where love has healed all wounds.
I've found that there is always some beauty left — in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. A person who's happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery!
Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable.
Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Optimism is the belief that things will get better. Hope is the faith that, together, we can make things better.
