“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. !ey somehow already know what you truly want
to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve JobsThursday, September 8, 2011
