You–you alone–will have the stars as no one else has them.”— The Little Prince

“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.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
