His lecture about Time Management

I really liked his ability to engage the audience. His optimism and sense of humor. Even though he was dying, he used this fact to make people laugh, while hiding his feelings behind his smile.
His speech makes people think about life, and helps us understand how precious is the time we have.

Here are the 5 quotes I liked from his lecture:
1. If you do the right things adequately, that's much more important than doing the wrong things beautifully.
2. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
3. If you've got a bunch of things to do, do the ugliest thing first.
4. Make up a fake class instead of going to hang out with your friends. Just go to the library.
5. Time is all we have. And we may find one day you have less than you think.
