On June 12, 2005 Steve Jobs stood before the Standford class of 2005 to deliver their 114th annual commencement speech. In that speech he tells three stories. The first is about his experience with higher education, connecting the dots and finding his passion in calligraphy. The second story is about love and loss. He talks about being fired from his own company, starting over, and Pixar. "Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick," he says, "but don't lose faith." His final story is about death. He talks about living life to its fullest, preparing for his own death, and saying goodbye.
Steve Jobs has a lot of very good advice in this speech. Particularly as he refers to perserverence, education, life and death, and passion. I think this is an incredibly imporatant speech. First, as it reveals more about this man's character. And second, as it refers to everyone's life and human nature.
