			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dance  like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you&#8217;ve  never been hurt and live like it&#8217;s heaven on Earth.</p>
<br><b>William W. Purkey</b> (b. 1929) American educator, academic, author<br>(Attributed) 
														<br><br><span class="cite">
						Also attributed to Mark Twain, Alfred D. Souza (or Alfred D'Souza), Satchel  Paige, and "an Irish proverb."  The phrase was popularized in Susannah  Clark &amp; Richard Leigh's 1987 song "Come from the Heart."</p><p> </p><p>Correspondence with Purkey in 2001 is quoted <a href="http://www.quotationspage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=267&amp;sid=f26592e22463f7ecb754a926d2c21627">here</a>. He said the original version was:</p><blockquote><p><span><span>You've gotta' dance like there's nobody watching, <br /> Love like you'll never be hurt. <br /> Sing like there's nobody  listening, <br /> And live like it's heaven on earth.<br />(And speak from  the heart to be heard.)</span></span></p></blockquote><p><span><span> </span></span>Another variation (there are many out there):</p><blockquote><p>Work like you don't  need the money<br /> dance like no one is watching<br /> sing like no one  is listening <br /> love like you've never been hurt<br /> and live life  every day as if it were your last</p></blockquote>						</span>
