3 Memorizing Life Stories from Steve Jobs
Filed under: People Skills — Tags: — nedpelger

Take the 15 minutes to watch this inspiring commencement speech from Steve Jobs. He rarely shared personal info, but shares three stories here which truly motivate.

As a quick recap:

  1. You can’t connect the dots forward: make decisions without too much fear, knowing it will only make sense looking back…you can only connect the dots backward.
  2. Embrace failures: lose the heaviness of success and do great work by loving what you do.
  3. Remember you will be dead soon, you don’t have that much to lose: don’t waste your time living someone else’s life.

On the back cover of the final Whole Earth Catalog, remember these words, “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.”

We honor you, Mr Jobs, for a life intensely lived and for creating beauty and change.
