Das Zitat ist aber schön:
"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." - Steve Jobs, June 12, 2005

Könnte genau so gut von Hermann Hesse (1) oder Jiddu Krishnamurti (2) sein
Wobei, Jobs war ja Zen Buddhist, wenn ich mich recht entsinne, nicht?

Und noch ein Zitat: "Auch ein Zen Buddhist muss mal pieseln" (das sagt meine Freundin Evi immer).

-------------
(1) Hermann Hesse: "Es ist nicht eine blinde Macht von außen, deren Spielball wir sind, sondern es ist die Summe der Gaben, Schwächen und anderen Erbschaften, die ein Mensch mitgebracht hat. Ziel eines sinnvollen Lebens ist, den Ruf dieser inneren Stimme zu hören und ihm möglichst zu folgen. Der Weg wäre also: Sich selbst erkennen, aber nicht über sich richten und sich ändern wollen, sondern das Leben möglichst der Gestalt anzunähern, die als Ahnung in uns vorgezeichnet ist."

(2) Jiddu Krishnamurti: "'Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security - religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he is not an individual."
