“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s
life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the
results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of
other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And
most important, have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition. They somehow already know what you truly
want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
—Steve Jobs
