On Steve Jobs's Stanford speech Steve Jobs is known as a worldwide role model for many young and ambitious people. Here, in his famous Stanford speech he reveals the other side of his biography. An adopted child raised in a working class family then dropped out of the college… These astonishing facts we learn about the worldwide iconic figure. In his performance, he surprisingly appears to be a simple and open-minded person. He speaks freely about his life path that was not that easy, making emphasis on the failures he had. He is convinced that all his setbacks only led him to new horizons, new opportunities, and as result, to resounding success. He defines such a chain of the consequences, as “connecting the dots”, and this is the first point of his speech. Other essential issues he is tackling on are proverbial love and death. However, Jobs implies something specific about these two sisters. By the love, he means one’s keenness and dedication to the career he/she has chosen, and by the death, he means his own brush with cancer that made him in some way rethink his life. I believe that people like Jobs, brave and ambitious nonconformists, make the history. They are those who drive progress and create great things. They manage to be free of public opinion, and make decisions basing on their own intuition and comprehension. Such people are marked with great energy and unsatisfied curiosity for the things around. They are always open for any extraordinary experience, either for a course of calligraphy, which Jobs himself, did. I find Jobs’ words extremely inspiring and helpful for all the people around the world. They are like a pill for those who feel insecure or losing their way. His “Stay foolish, stay hungry” is probably the most poignant and striking motto I had ever heard. Generally, I do not feel any admiration about people who managed make great fortune, but Jobs had something that differed him from other people from the Forbs’ list. He showed himself to be a person for whom money was a secondary thing, and whose beacon in the career was the idea.
