Turn of Phrase - Steve Jobs on Death and Life

"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."


- From the commencement speech Steve Jobs gave at Stanford University in 2005. 


Watch the 15 minute video of the speech in its entirety if you wish. I thought the quote above about building the best life for yourself, along with his comments on death at around the 11:50 mark in the video, were especially poignant.
