Pilot Your Own Life is an episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Plot

After listening to a motivational seminar, an inspired Cody advises people to "Pilot Your Own Life". He encourages Estaban to pursue his dream of becoming manager of the Tipton Hotel and his mom, Carey, to follow-up making her demo CD. He also tells Maddie and London to "pilot" their own life as they compete to be the trendiest teen of the year. All of their pursuits end poorly as Estaban's night English class gives him a Texas accent and Carey is advised by a record producer to pursue becoming a lounge singer at the Tipton - the job she already has. Maddie and London each create an outfit based on Maddie's 'blue-collar chic' look and end up having a huge fight in the lobby. Eventually, they make up and learn that the teen fashion magazine has put both girls on their cover in their ripped clothing calling it 'urban decay.'
