just friend us on facebook at bizrpt. >> susie: and as we say good night, there's no more fitting tribute to the legacy of steve jobs than his own words. here he is delivering the commencement address at stanford university in june of 2005. >> 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 u truly nt tbecome. everything else is secondary.
