“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. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
~ Steve Jobs
i was sad to hear of his passing last night... he was obviously a visionary, great leader, and one creative guy.

I think about my time being limited a lot lately. I know Steve Jobs made very good use of his time.
ReplyDeleteWe should all strive to do what we love and not worry about being judged or even successful. He gave very good advice.
Thank you for sharing these words of a very special someone!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this. He gave such great advice and it has been interesting to read about his background and what an inspirational person he became.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting his words. We all need to pay attention to them.
ReplyDeleteHe was such an inspiring man and truly changed our world. I just pray that someone that heard that commencement speech heeds his words and steps up to continue what he started.
ReplyDeleteI've been an Apple and Jobs fan since back in the day (1989, to be more precise) and I'm still so impressed by him. His tenacity is enviable, his legacy ginormous.
ReplyDeleteThat's the exact quote I chose to post as well. He was a colossus; the shoes will never be filled.
