Steve Jobs: How to live before you die

In this video, Steve Jobs gives a very inspirational commencement speech at Stanford University. He keeps his speech simple by telling three stories that changed his life. I learned several things about Steve Jobs that I was not aware of; he was adopted at birth, he never graduated from college and was fired from the company he started, Apple, and later rehired. He mentioned that after officially dropping out of college his intuition led him to “drop-in” at a calligraphy course. Had it not been for that class he would have never created the typography in the first Macintosh computer. If you need an inspirational speech to add a little “pep in your step”, check it out.
