''To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.  Be whole in everything. Put all you are into the smallest thing you do.  So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor because it blooms up above.''

'''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.''


Steve Jobs
