What a speaker!I certainly envy his speaking abilities…I’m terrible at it!I like what he says about the course that he audited and how that course affected his career later in life.This really brings home the point that you never what is going to happen.Something you might find to be trivial or inconsequential could end up being trivial or life changing.Take risks, Jobs advises, step off the common trail and try new things.Trust that those risks will pay off in the end and that is how to get ahead in the world.This really strikes me as it’s the American dream – the American success story and coincidentally the American failure.Some take risks and fail, some take risks and succeed.But as Jobs knows, it is exceptionally tough to get to his level of success without risk.
Love what you do, more great advice from Jobs.This is critical for life.We only get one shot at it; we need to make it the best we can.I look at my life and feel happy that I am doing what I want to be doing and getting married to the love of my life in 4 months.
“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today.”Wow.This really puts things in perspective.Its nice to get these reality checks every once in awhile to see if your life is really on a track that you want it to be on.
What great videos we got in this course.I am excited to show them to my students start some intriguing discussions.
It's a great example of his passion, but it's not one of his better speeches. I was at his keynote in 2000 when he introduced the original bondi-blue iMac and in 2007 when he introduced the original iPhone. Those were awesome times. There aren't any tech CEO's who can hold their audience in the palm of their hands for over 90 minutes. It's a work of art... even when the presentation tech fails...
