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 other's 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.

S. Jobs

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

We will find a way. Or make one.

Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it is stupid.

A Einstein

When i was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When i went to school, they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me i didn't understand the assignment, and i told them they didn't understand life

John Lennon
