Today, Steve Jobs passed away from a cancer he thought he had beaten. This fact lends his speech to Standford University graduates in 2005 an extra special impact.
Jobs talks about what it is to live and how life is overshadowed by the inexorable journey towards certain death. It sounds grim, but somehow the notion of death, felt so immediately and unrelentingly by Jobs, has become a key part of his success. The notion of a certain end has driven him to shed inhibitions and worries, and turn moments of loss into opportunities. He recounts three simple stories from his life, and shows how they were each integral to his achievements: a loving wife, a hugely successful business, personal satisfaction.
A must watch video for everyone, from those just setting out on a career to those approaching the end of one.
