Comment


"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." 


This paragraph is my favorite one. We all know life is precious, but we usually used to waste our time in something that isn't the most important one. Another one, we always lose ourselves in other people's expectancy.  I wish myself can know what to do like him. Despite Jobs already died for a long time, he still is a good model for many people now.
