Promise #77: Think different

You need to harness creativity. Branch out. Take risks.

You need to share your brilliance with everyone you meet. Take the energy you invest in fear and invest it your ideas.

When you think you can’t, know that you can. When you think you shouldn’t, know that you must. When you’re not sure, think of Steve.

He didn’t have a sense of entitlement, he had a sense of invention.

He championed curiosity and humanity. He used courage to create change.

All he ever wanted to do was “make a dent in the universe.” Instead, he made a enormous well that’s filled with the power of imagination. Including yours.

Your time is limited. 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 opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most importantly, 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
