Amazon.com: The Last Lecture: Randy Pausch
"I think the most important thing I learned as I grew older was that you can't get anywhere without help. That means people have to want to help you, and that begs the question: What kind of person do other people seem to want to help? That strikes me as a pretty good operational answer to the existential question: 'What kind of person should you try to be?'"

My Purpose in Life

My purpose in life is to investigate reality and share what I discover with others.

Sounds vague, right? Well, it so happens it perfectly captures and explains my all-embracing curiosity and love of knowledge, whether it's art, literature, physics, math, medicine, cosmology, theology, meditation, dance, technology and the list goes on.

And it explains why I listen so intently and why I'm not afraid to appear in public, why I'll try almost anything at least once, why I love to travel and need constant novelty in my life.
