In Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech in 2005, he recounts the story of his life and inspirations. In this Stanford Commencement Speech, we find a different Steve Jobs than the one often depicted in the media: humble, contrite, funny, and thankful.
Steve Jobs is certainly one of the Greatest Thinkers of our Time. He has always gone his own way, followed his passions, and created technical marvels that many think have changed the world.
In this 15 minute speech, Steve Jobs traces his path from boyhood, to creator of Apple, to unemployed and outcast, and finally to where he is today, at the helm of Apple and Pixar Studios and once again a premier leader in the realm of business and technology.
