Epic Steve

Everyone should watch his commencement address at Stanford in 2005. It's
a classic. It's all over YouTube.

"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."

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

And he lived it. To see the impact of Steve's work, you have to look no further than this fact: nearly everyone reading this right now is using a Mac, iPad, or iPhone, or a copy of one.
