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
Success
He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction.
-Bessie A. Stanley
I look up to the sky and now the world is mine, I’ve known it all my life I made it!…I used to dream about, the life I’m living now, I know that there’s no doubt, I made it.
-Kevin Rudolph, “I made it”
A bit of a self-indulgent (American) song. I can’t completely relate to it, but the sentiment can be motivating. That’s why I’m quoting it.
