    "The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything". This is one of the best quotes I've ever heard in my life.

      To "lie" means to knowingly tell the untruth. "Hoping" for something to happen, on the other hand, reflects just someone's aspiration for a positive outcome. How could anybody "know" he's going to live for a certain amount of time, anyway? Hence, he didn't lie at all. Hope dies last...

    Did you know who helped him write that? His name was Michael Hawley, a computer programmer himself, a professor, musician, speechwriter and impresario who helped lay the intellectual groundwork for what is now called the Internet of Things. Yes, he was a speechwriter too, among the many things that described him.
    While the speech may have accurately reflected the times and life of Steve Jobs till then, and his wonderful journey of self discovery, the message that is distilled in that and the way it is composed makes you wonder who helped compose it. Clearly, art of writing at its finest.

    Still to this day, probably one of the best and most important speeches ever given for young and old. As Steve is talking about death being life's change agent, I truly believe his speech has become the same over time. The amount of people taking strength out of from that to this day are the confirmation. Including myself, who for years has been watching the video over and over again. Of course on a Mac.

    I am honored to be with you today for your commencement for one of the finest universities in the world.
    Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the closest I’ve got into college graduation.
    Today, I wanna tell you 3 stories from my life.
    That’s it. No big deal. Just 3 stories.
    The first story is about connecting the dots.
    I dropped out of Reed college after the first 6 months, but then, stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so, before I really quit.
    So, why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young and unwed graduate student.
    And she decided to put me for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates.
    So, everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife.
    Except that when I popped out, they decided at last minute, that they really wanted a girl.
    So, my parents who are a waiting list, got a call in the middle of a night, asking “We’ve got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him? They said “of course”.
    My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college, and my father had never graduated from high school.
    She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later, when my parents promised that I would go to college.
    This was a start in my life.
    And 17 years later, I did go to college. But, I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford.
    And, all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition.
    After 6 months, I couldn’t see the value on it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was spending all the money my parents saved in their entire life.
    So, I decided to drop out and trust that It all work out okay.
    It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
    The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required class that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that look far more interesting.
    It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room. So, I slept on the floor in friend’s rooms. I returned coke bottles for 5 cents deposits to buy food with. And, I walked 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get 1 good meal at a week at the Hare Krishna temple.
    I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and tuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you 1 example.
    Reed college at that time, offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus, every poster, every label, and every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed.
    Because I dropped out, and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.
    I learned about serif and san serif type-faces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations about what makes great typography great.
    It was beautiful, historical, artistically settled in a way that science can’t capture. And I found it fascinating. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life.
    But, 10 years later, when we were designing the first Mackintosh computer, it all came back to me. And, we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with a beautiful typography.
    If I had never dropped in a single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typofaces, or proportionally spaced fonts. And, since the window just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them.
    If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and the personal computer might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course, it was impossible to connect the dots, looking forward when I was in college. But, it was very very clear, looking backwards 10 years later.
    Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forwards, you can only connect them, looking backwards.
    So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect your future.
    You have to trust in something, your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.
    Because believing the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even wanna lead you off the well-known path. And, that will make all the difference.

      @user-px5xe1zb5f 4 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      My second story is about love and loss.
      I was lucky. I found what I love to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parent’s garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years, Apple had grown from just 2 of us in garage into a 2 billion-dollar company with over 4 thousand employees.
      We just released our finest creation, the Mackintosh a year earlier. And, I just turned 30. And then, I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you
      started?
      Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me. And for the first year or so, things went well. But, then, our visions of the future began to diverge. And, eventually, we had a falling-out.
      When we did, our board of director sided with him. And so when I was 30, I was out, and very publically out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone. And, it was devastating.
      I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation and entrepreneurs down, that I dropped the baton as it was being passed to me.
      I met with David Packer and Bob noize and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was very public failure and I even thought about running away from a valley. But, something slowly began to dawn on me.
      I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple would not change that one bit. I’ve been rejected, but I was still in love. And, so I decided to start over.
      I didn’t see at then. But, it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
      The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life.
      During the next 5 years, I started company named NEXT, another company named PIXAR, and fell in love with an amazing woman who become my wife. PIXAR went on to create the world’s first computer-animated feature film, Toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.
      In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought a NEXT, and I returned to Apple. And the technology we developed in the NEXT is the heart of Apple’s present Renaissance. And Lewin and I have a wonderful family together. I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.
      Sometimes, the life is gonna hit you in a head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.
      I’m convinced the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.
      You’ve got to find what you love and that is true for work, as is for your lovers. Your work is gonna fill a large part of your life. And the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
      If you haven’t found yet, keep looking and don’t settle. As it all matters of heart, you will know you will find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better. And the years roll on, so keep looking, don’t settle.
      My third story is about death. When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you almost certainly be right. It made an impression on me. And, since then, for the past 33 years, I looked in the mirror every morning and ask myself if today were the last day of my life, would I wanna do what I am about to do today. And, whenever the answer is “no” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that all be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
      Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things are just far away in the face of death, living only what is truly important.
      Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid a trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
      About year ago, I was diagnosed with a cancer.
      I had scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even know what pancreas was.
      The doctors told me “this was almost a certainly type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than 3~6 months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare the die.
      It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you would have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that will be as easy as possible for your family.
      It means to say your good-byes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening, I had a biopsy where they stuck on endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas a few cells from the tumor.
      I was sedated. But, my wife who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells with microscope, the doctors started crying because it turned out to be very rare-form pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.
      I had a surgery. And, thankfully, I am fine now.
      This was the closest I’ve been to facing death. And I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lives through it, I can now say to you, with a bit more certainty than when the death was a useful, but purely intellectual concept.
      No one wants to die. Even people who wanna go to heaven, don’t wanna died to get there.
      And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is, as it should be. Because the death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s 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’s 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 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.
      When I was young, there was an amazing publication, called a “Whole Earth Catalogue”, which is one of the bibles of my generations. It was created by fellow name, Stew Brand, not far from here, Merina Park. And, he brought it to life with a poetic touch. This was the late 60s before personal computer and desk-top publishing.
      So, it was all made with type-writers, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was a sort like a google and a paper back form, 35 years before google came along.
      It was idealistic, over-flowing with neat tools, and great notions. Stew and his team put out several issues of Whole Earth Catalogue. And then, when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.
      It was mid-1970s and I was your age. On the back cover of the final issue, was a photograph of early morning country road. The kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you are so adventurous. Beneath it, were the words “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. It was their fare-well message as they signed off. “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. And, I’ve always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate begin a new, I wish that for you “Stay hungry, stay foolish”.
      Thank you all very much.

Im now taking my broker's review and soon I will take my Broker's exam. I guess, I need Steve Jobs' words to follow my heart and hopefully connect the dots. You are rough, perfectionist and harsh but its your way to make things GREAT. I love you Steve Jobs, I use all your creations from Ip4s, iphone 6 plus, Ipad Air and Macbook Pro. You just leave a great Legacy to the world. Thank you for not giving up on Apple, the company you started. Without you, technology wont be this easy and available for us. Thank you! -Applefan

    "Connect the dots "and the "life and times of Steve Jobs" are among the very few books I have read and both of them just bring me so close to the ideas of Steve Jobs. It keeps me going because it just manages to be so much similar to my own thoughts and perception. It gives me confidence to stay on with my choice. So good to hear him.
