Steve Jobs : speech on his life

The video shown with Steve Jobs as the speaker was given to us because the whole idea of doing what your heart wants you to do instead what someone else wants you to do is better. The speech was given at Stanford University commencement ceremony. Jobs basically sates the ups and downs of the business world and his college world, which he doesn’t regret at all. I believe that what he shared helped some people understand that failure is not the end of everything. Jobs life story was short and sweet. He first starts off by telling the crowd he came into the world out of wedlock and a lack of education. His mother had not finished college and his father had not finished high school. After the adoptive parents, a lawyer and a teacher wanted a girl he was turned away. He was offered to these other parents but then had a hard time being accepted after finding out his parents were not educated to their liking. Only after Steve’s mother promised the parents that he would go to college, did he get adopted.
He chose Reed University, which was almost just expensive as Stanford, to begin his college education. After 6 months of using up his parents salary, he dropped out. Although he dropped out of college he didn’t go away from the university. He dropped in to an auditing class (calligraphy) which he found to be very intriguing. He pursued a career in business and was fired at apple. He then went to Pixar and then to next. He later found out that apple had joined Pixar and next so he got to work there again. His failures turned out to be for the best.
He always has this motto behind everything that he does, either do things as if you were dying the next day, or think outside.
