Steve Jobs Persuasive Speech

Steve Jobs an American inventor, designer and entrepreneur who was the co-founder, chief executive and chairman of Apple Computer, lead the world with revolutionary products. He was able to bring the thought of Toy Story to a screen with his technology. With the inspiration he sends off to the world, he was invited to be the commencement speaker for Stanford University. As he was giving the commencement speech, he was able to set out 3 valuable life lessons. One, that you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future, two, the only way to do great work is to love what you do, and lastly, your time is limited, so don’t waste it
He told that About a year ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. He had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it showed a tumor on his pancreas. The doctors told Steve this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that He should expect to live no longer than three to six months. Steve’s doctor advised him to go home and get his affairs in order, which meant to prepare to die. It meant to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It meant to make sure everything is in order so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It meant to say your goodbyes. Later that evening he had a biopsy, they put a needle into his pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. He was sedated, but Steve’s wife, who was there, told Steve that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. He had the surgery and was fine. He talks about how This was the closest he’s been to facing death, and he hopes it’s the closest he get for a few more decades. “Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true”
One, that you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future, two, the only way to do great work is to love what you do, and lastly, your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. It may not make sense to look backwards, but there comes a time for everything, if not looking backwards, we wouldn’t be able to have such amazing typography on computers. Loving what you do is important, you’re not going to do great work if you don’t love what you do, so don’t settle search until you find it. Death is an element of life and it’s bound to catch up to us sooner or later, so don’t waste your life living in other people's shoes, you shouldn’t care what others think about yourself live your own
