Your time is limited…

Time is the only currency that cannot be renewed

These words spoken prophetically by Steve Jobs on 2005 at a Stanford University speech inspire and remind us all to make it important and to make it last.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.

This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me.

Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.

Steve Jobs, 2005 Stanford Uni Speech
