The Jobs commencement speech
How many people would have predicted that Steve Jobs would give the best commencement speech of the year?
The text of his address to the graduating class of Stanford University proves that he did. After noting his experience as a cancer survivor, Mr. Jobs observed:
Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.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.
Read the entire speech. Bravo!
Update: Here is an audio link to Mr. Jobs speech.
