2The best or nothing at all. Gottlieb DaimlerOnce you learn that, you'll never be the same again. (Steve Jobs)"When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you're life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Dont settle. Steve JobsYour time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other peoples 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. Everything else is secondary. Will SmithYou dont try to build a wall. You dont set out and say Im gonna build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that has ever been built.

The first step before anyone else in the world believes it is that YOU have to believe it.Humility and DeterminationHumility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.
