#5 Steve Jobs' 2005 Commencement Speech

Watch the video and read the script of Steve Jobs' Stanford Commencement Speech on the link below: 

Steve Jobs' 2005 Commencement Speech 

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

I personally feel that Steve Jobs' speech is quite inspiring, especially for us students, who still have a long way to reach success. We have to have the courage to follow our heart.
Sometimes we already know what we really want to do in our life, but we're just too afraid to actually go out of our own comfort zone and make our dreams come true. There are also times when we are afraid of other people's opinion on ourselves, what the society think of us, what our friends and relatives think of us, etc. But that doesn't mean that we have to give up our dreams and forever live in misery.
We don't have to wear a mask and wasting our whole life to become someone else. The most important thing is to be ourselves, everyone is unique in their own way. 
I also often tell myself not to think too much about what other people think, and just focus on becoming a better person each and everyday. 
To live life to the fullest.
