10. 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.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
你的时间有限，所以不要为其他人而活。不要被教条所限，不要活在其他人的观念里。不要让其他人的建议左右自己内心的声音。非常重要的是，勇敢的去追随我们的心灵和直觉，只有我们的心灵和直觉才了解你一个人的真实想法，其他所有都是次要。
