"Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. No one wants to die.

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 down out your own inner voice. have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become."
— Steve Jobs
