Steve Jobs: How to live before you die

As I scrolled through all of the TED talk topics, this one stood out to me. This video was of Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and Pixar Animation, giving a commencement speech to recent Stanford University graduates. Thinking ahead to my upcoming graduation, I felt listening to his speech could be inspiring.

In his speech, Steve gives three important points of advice, or as he says "three stories from his life":

1. Connecting the dots
2. Love and loss
3. Death

These three stories translated into great advice to live by. This advice was trust, have faith, love what you do, don't settle, and follow your heart. All great points to consider as I prepare to complete my educational goals.
