have the courage to follow your heart and intuitionhave the courage to follow your heart and intuition

スティーブ･ジョブズがスタンフォードの卒業式で行なった有名なスピーチだが、聴けば聴くほど心に沁みるフレーズに溢れている。以前書いたIf today were the last day of my lifeはそのひとつ。久しぶりにこのスピーチを聞いていて印象に残ったのは次のフレーズ。前の会社を辞めて独立しようと考えたのは、きっとこういうことなのだろう。今更ながらに勇気づけられた。

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.
