20 Comments by Cekmi To Randy Pausch
Cekmi has read and watched The Last Lecture, and here are his 20 comments.
1. Randy says… Never lose the child-like wonder.
Cekmi says… Oh, yeah. I am still a silly child in Melbourne, Randy. Don’t you worry about that.
2. Randy says… Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.
Cekmi says… And if you think you can’t, you’re left (behind).
3. Randy says… Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
Cekmi says… My biggest Brick Wall is still that arrogant place called UCLA.
4. Randy says… Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
Cekmi says… How could I get the experience, Randy? I have never been to UCLA. But I know, I just will one day.
5. Randy says… Complaining does not work as a strategy. It won’t make us happier.
Cekmi says… Hey, I’m not complaining, Randy. I’m happy at the University of Melbourne. Really.
6. Randy says… Time is all you have. And you may find one day that you have less than you think.
Cekmi says… Damn. Thanks for your message from Heaven.
7. Randy says… Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.
Cekmi says… Er, should I add Faith as well?
8. Randy says… Filing in alphabetical order is better than running around saying, ‘I know it was blue and I know I was eating something when I had it.’
Cekmi says… Haha… *high five*
9. Randy says… When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can count on is what you take with you.
Cekmi says… I wonder what you brought with you when you first met Him.
10. Randy says… The truth can set you free.
Cekmi says… I’m afraid it won’t happen that easily in Malaysia.
11. Randy says… Not everything needs to be fixed.
Cekmi says… But I love fixing things, Randy *sigh*
12. Randy says… Don’t obsess over what people think.
Cekmi says… I’ll always keep that in mind, ops.
13. Randy says… All you have to do is ask.
Cekmi says… The problem is, which way? There are just too many deadly ways to ask a noisy girl on a tram to just shut up.
14. Randy says… A bad apology is worse than no apology.
Cekmi says… I’m sorry, Randy. The world is just too fucked-up.
15. Randy says… Thank-you notes are best done the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper.
Cekmi says… Someone is still doing that to me, and I feel blessed. Thank you, Jimi.
16. Randy says… Find the best in everybody, no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it.
Cekmi says… I believe I could still see a slight smile on the face of that bitchy girl at the Unilodge reception before she dies in the worst possible way.
17. Randy says… Want to have a short phone call with someone? Call them right before lunch. You may think you are interesting, but you are no more interesting than lunch.
Cekmi says… Hehe… you are right, Randy. Food is second to none. It’s about survival.
18. Randy says… If you can find your footing between two cultures, sometimes you can have the best of both worlds.
Cekmi says… I hope I would never lose one of my feet I left in Kelantan.
19. Randy says… It’s a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.
Cekmi says… You have done just that, Randy. You are inspiring me to achieve mine.
20. Randy says… Live your life the right way. The Karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
Cekmi says… I’m trying, Randy. I’m trying. Don’t ever lose faith in me.
Thanks, dear Randy. I hope you’re smiling in Heaven.
