10. Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other peoples thinking.

Everything else is secondary.
你的時間有限，所以不要為別人而活。不要被教條所限，不要活在別人的觀念里。不要讓別人的意見左右自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追隨自己的心靈和直覺，只有自己的心靈和直覺才知道你自己的真實想法，其他一切都是次要。
