Lessons learnt at life college

Steve Jobs (2005) addresses Stanford University graduates with a commencement speech telling three stories. His first story encourages the audience to follow their hearts as Jobs (2005) did when he left college to take a calligraphy workshop. In his second story, Jobs (2005) remarks that he has succeeded in business because he never stopped seeking what he wanted.

Finally, he explains that recovering from a cancerous tumour has reinforced his idea of doing just what is necessary (Jobs, 2005). In conclusion, Jobs (2005) recommends the audience pursuing their interests to avoid living with the results of other people’s thinking.
