Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. - Steve Jobs

Inspirational quote of the day by Steve Jobs.

The most valuable resource that you have is time. Once time has passed, it cannot be recovered; it is gone forever.

Therefore, why would you want to spend your most valuable resource imitating someone else or living the life of someone else's expectations?

Your life is your own, and you must live it according to your own values and follow your own dreams. By being true to yourself, you will find increased confidence, will be authentic in your relationships with others, and will be happier knowing that you lived life on your own terms.

Steve Jobs (1955-2011) was the co-founder of Apple, and well known around the world as a visionary leader in the field of technology. Steve revolutionised the personal computing, music and mobile phone industries.

An example of how Steve applied this quote in his life is with the creation of the iPhone which he first introduced in the Macworld San Francisco 2007 address.

Before the time of iPhone's, mobile phones were clunky, dumb devices with physical keys. Steve didn't follow the same path as other mobile phone manufacturers. Instead, he created a new device, unlike anything the world had ever seen before. A single device that acted as a phone, a music player and an Internet browser, with a full sized colour touch screen that could easily fit into your pocket. Chances are you are viewing this article on an iPhone.

By being true to his own unique vision and refusing the follow others, Steve left an enduring legacy which benefited millions around the world.
