Stephen  King
“We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why.”
Stephen King, 11/22/63

Randy Pausch
“There's a lot of talk these days about giving children self-esteem. It's not something you can give; it's something they have to build. Coach Graham worked in a no-coddling zone. Self-esteem? He knew there was really only one way to teach kids how to develop it: You give them something they can't do, they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep repeating the process.”
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
