0 Comments [+] | Entry LinkQuotes of the Week - In Memory of Steve JobsPosted in 'Quote of the week' on October 8, 2011, 11:27 am In memory of Steve Jobs, who sadly passed away this week, we post two quotes that we feel sum up the genius and inspiration of this amazing man: "Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” – Wikiquote, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal (Summer 1993).  "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’ Stanford Commencement Address

Hear hear we say. What's the point of living if you don't try things, and take a risk sometimes? (No businesses would ever be created if people didn't take risks; no new relationships; no friendships; no trips to the moon!)
With 2011 almost upon us, what are you going to try that's new next year?
Let us know, we'd love to hear you aspirations for the year ahead.....
