"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is the results of other people's thinking. Don't 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 already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve JobsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
