4. Do What
You Love
Advice from Steve Jobs, co-founder
of Apple and Pixar
“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 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.” -- Stanford Commencement speech by Steve Jobs in 2005
