Jobs’ Stanford Commencement Speech
A lot has been said about Steve Jobs’ (founder and CEO of Apple) commencement speech, given last weekend at Stanford. I have read it and indeed find it quite inspiring. Steve Jobs is someone who has really done amazing things in his life. He started one of the largest, and certianly most influential computer companies in the world. He started the most successful digital animation company in the world. But more impressive to me is the level of quality in the products his companies produce.
From the speech:
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Anyway, you can find the speech in it’s entirety here.
