Looking Back and Connecting the Dots – Steve Jobs

This is one of the most powerful speeches I have ever seen given by MAC Founder Steve Jobs.
And it was given at the 2005 commencement ceremony at Stanford university, of all places.
If you haven’t seen this before, it’s well worth the 15 minutes of your life.
Steve Jobs is a great presenter.
For me, it really put a lot in perspective and really made me think about things differently.
Usually these kinds of speeches are boring and unmemorable.
This is not one of those speeches.
The reason I think it’s so powerful (to me) comes down to two things:
- It’s highly personal.
- It’s told as a story in three parts. It makes his message really easy to remember!
I think you’ll enjoy this video and hope you get out of it as much as I have.
What was your favorite part of the video?
