“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 w hat you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs

You are never too young or too old to start working on what you are passionate about. Take the path less traveled – life is too short to regret.

Remember: Money, fame and respect cannot be pursued, commit your life to an occupation that you love and money, fame and respect will pursue you.
