This is a nice quote from Steve Jobs I stumbled into today.
"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."
Yes, I am ready to do all those things. I keep thinking I can do them where I am but it's tough to find the time. Other people's schedules block my self-discipline.
You can only follow your favourite project if your inner voice work ethic leaves go a little. (That's American for "let's go a little")
And some projects are projects of isolation. Fine if you are Sartre and subscribe to the Hell Is Other People principle. Not so fine if you think People Is Life.
Nevertheless, I think a little intensive project deliverance is coming soon to a me near you.
It might take an amnesty with my conscience and a holiday for my work ethic.
But if that's what it takes then them's the breaks.
