“Your time is limited, so don't waste it liv-ing 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 cour-age to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

-Steve Jobs
