Text of Steve Jobs' Commencement address (2005)

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

"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."

A Quotation from his third story. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered this commencement address, on June 12, 2005 at Stanford University.
