Steve Jobs Speech - Stanford Commencement 2005

Posted on previous blog at 04/12/08

By the way … taking advantage of the previous post, here goes a 15 min speech of Steve Jobs, on Stanford Commencement, on 2005.
The full text of the speech can be read here!

In this speech, he talks primarly about his life and career, going through three histories:
1) Connecting the dots - How the things he did by following his heart made sense just lots of years later, and how this contributed for the personal’s computer history.

2) Love and loss - How he got fired from the company he founded (Apple), how he succeeded through this (founding Next and Pixar, getting married), and how this was important in his life.

3) Death - How he faced a pancrea’s cancer, and lived with a soon death’s diagnosis for one day - also talks about how people face death.

I cannot decide which one I do prefer (Gates' or Job's one), both are really worthwhile!

Enjoy it!
