Original engl.: "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 others' 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."

Variante: Wenn du jung bist, schaust du ins Fernsehen und denkst, es gibt eine Verschwörung. Die Netzwerke haben sich verschworen, um uns zu täuschen. Aber wenn man älter wird, merkt man, dass das nicht stimmt. Die Netzwerke sind im Geschäft, um den Menschen genau das zu geben, was sie wollen.
