“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.” - Steve Jobs

Marc, thank you for joining our “cyberclass” birthday party. I really appreciate your presence.
“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”…indeed I firmly believe this is true!

This truly makes sense. Trust me, I don’t think higher education is that important (unless you’ve already figured out what is it essentially that you want to study for real!) Better yet, if you’re already making it in life, stick to it and have a blast! This is the best way to live! =)
