SPEECH REVIEW

Steve Jobs Speech

at Stanford University

This time let me try to review the speech of someone who is extraordinary, an originator, creator, and a true visionary, he is Steve Jobs, at the time of graduation at Stanford University (June 12, 2005).

He classifies speech into three topics, the first about how he connects the point in his life. Essence that we can take those great results would have started with a business that is not easy. It takes sacrifice, hard work, consistent, and work smart in choosing the path we will follow.

All are painted when the family's financial condition is not possible, so he decided to quit college. From here we can conclude that the college is not the only key to success, but we must remember that one key to success we can get to college.

In addition, we also must believe that it must be behind the difficulty there is relief. Even something much more beautiful we can achieve anything, just how far we can survive and try to interpret everything that happens to us. In a speech is told when he was unable to lecture, but behind it is an opportunity for him to study calligraphy style that became one of the letters on the Macintosh.

What happened to Steve Jobs earlier, it had occurred to me. While I was having trouble, surely there is relief afterwards that can cover the feeling of sadness because of the difficulty was. So, let us never feel bored to try to be more meaningful.

The second story is about love and loss. A person who is successful is he who knows himself. Steve Jobs knows what he likes, and also what he did not like. And Steve Jobs is a personal way, in a still fairly young age, he already knows what she likes. Then it becomes easier for him to pursue the success he dreamed of.

But as usual, something big must be accompanied by a major hurdle as well. After he succeeded in establishing and promoting his company, he was fired by someone who she adopted to lead his company simply because of differences in vision.

Everything that happens to him, good or bad he always responded positively. The proof when he was fired from Apple, although at first she experienced a sense of pessimism, but he immediately got up and tried to back what he had dreamed of. Until at last he thought that he was fired from Apple was the starting point for him to be more creative. The key word is like what has been, is and we'll do.

The third story is about death. When he was 17 years old, Steve Jobs ever heard the expression, like this "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you will be right." During his lifetime, he always remembered the phrase and makes it as an encouragement in his life. Remembering death is the most effective way to eliminate the idea that we will lose something, because we will always do our best to get what we dream.

Thus, may be a lesson for us. Because there is no stopping for more meaningful words.
