Steve Jobs: Commencement Speech

Steve Jobs was a remarkable and brilliant man who helped to create the computer that I am typing on right now.  He was an inspiration to many, and during his commencement speech, he inspired many more.  We all know how powerful Jobs was in our society, but he was able to relate to everyone listening to his speech that day.  By saying that one simple class of calligraphy basically changed his whole life shows us that you don't have to have a monumental idea.  By just having something simple in front of you, it can spark that great idea.

Jobs did what he wanted, for him.  He wasn't letting anyone tell him what to do, and I think that that is what benefited him the most.  By doing something you love, you will feel more passionate about it and what to do greater things.  That's how jobs felt.  By taking the classes he loved, he was able to expound upon that and do something that not only changed the technological world, but changed his entire life.

Steve Jobs did what he did not for money.  He did it for love.  The love of technology and creating something that he knew would change how people used computers was what fueling his passion.  I am encouraged by Jobs to do what I love and to follow my passions.  Jobs did, and it seemed to work out pretty well in the big scheme of things.
