Too many people go through life complaining about their problems.
When most people find out they only have a few months to live they intend to do the most they can do before they do, skydiving, traveling, etc. However, for Randy Pausch he resumed to live the way he was living, trying to spend as much time he had left with his family and remembering why life is worth living. In "The Last Lecture", Randy gives advice and reasons to live, with also providing life stories and parts of his real final lecture. "If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?"

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
It's not how hard you hit. It's how hard you get hit and keep moving forward.
Somehow, with the passage of time, and the deadlines that life imposes, surrendering became the right thing to do.
Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goal. And it won't make us happier.
