“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

Keeping Job's statement in mind, discuss the concept of thinking and acting for yourself.  What influences exist in your life that can impact how you live?  How do these outside factors influence your thoughts, actions and experiences?
