How Steve Jobs wrote the greatest commencement speech ever…
Steven Levy has one of the best reads of this week: How Steve Jobs Wrote the Greatest Commencement Speech Ever. People might disagree, but it moved me when I first heard. I wish I’d heard it during my own graduation in 2005. But, I first listened to this in 2006 after Google acquired YouTube and I started using YouTube a lot more. It was mesmerizing.
I have not stayed true to every recommendation from Steve in the speech. However, it changed me to pursue a life in technology, make a dent in the universe and stay true to leaving the world a better place. I am inventing my own future, finally.
Steve Jobs Archive also released a great set of emails that Steve emailed himself as he prepared and thought about this for almost 6 months. Honestly, this was the most interesting part of the email archive and the article. It shows Steve not as the sure-footed master presenter as we often got to see him. It highlights a thoughtful person who’s trusting the process of moving the needle forward a day at a time. Thoughtfulness is a skill. It requires time, practice and I really wish I’d started it sooner than I have.
