The Way to Happiness
“The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love, scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.” – H.C. Mattern

Follow Your Heart
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life… Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And, most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs, Stanford address 2005
