Don't Waste Your Time....


....or time will waste you.

These lyrics popped into my head after I read a quote on Twitter attributed to Steve Jobs.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."

Simple and profound, very much like the man who has shaped technology more in the last 30 years or so than anyone else. The world lost a great mind and, by all accounts, a better person today with the passing of Steve Jobs.

I've tried my best to live life the way I've wanted to, although that has lead to plenty of conflict over the years, even within myself. I'll continue to do so to the best of my ability, taking hold of life and shaping it the way I want....but right now I have an essay I have to grab hold of and reshape. And it seems that Mr. Jobs has put his mark on my iPod one last time with this quote helping me choose my first song to write to.
