" your time is limited , so dont waste it living someone else's life . dont be trapped be dogma - which is living with the results of other people 's thinking . dont let the noise of others 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 . ' ---- steve jobs
Jobs delivered a commencement speech to student graduating from Standford and had this to say :
when I was 17 , I read a quote that went something like :" if you live each day as if it was your last , someday you'll most certainly be right . " It made an impression on me , and since then , for the past 33 years , I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself : " if today were the last day of my life , would I want to do what I am about to do today ? " and whenever the answer has been " No " for too many days in a row , I know I need to change something .
