One of the most inspirational business icons of our generation passed away far too soon. However, before leaving this world, he delivered a brilliant commencement speech at Stanford in 2005, reminding us of what is truly important. One of my favorite sections is quoted below.

“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 others’ 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
