Inspiring quotes said by prof. Randy in the
lecture• “Wait long enough and people will surprise
and impress you”.• “When you see yourself doing something
badly and nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care”.

• Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories. And they will figure out how those stories apply to them.
