3 Memorizing Life Stories from Steve Jobs
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:
- 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.
- Embrace failures: lose the heaviness of success and do great work by loving what you do.
- 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.
