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. | | | | | 'I want my two dollars' from "Better Off Dead" (1985) | | | | |  | “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

This means reframing priorities, actively pushing audiences online and fully embracing category experimentation. It's not too late, but time is running out... When the nurse can't find a vein. Feel like a voodoo doll... This is big... GAME OF THRONES infographic... Friends doing well: Congrats to SEAN MORAN and JEFF LUCAS... Happy Birthday JOANNA BOMBERG, PETER MASTERSON, NANCY LUBIN, DANNY BIGEL and BILL ROBINSON. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
