In class I found the videos about Steve Jobs to be very interesting. He said a lot of things in the Stanford commencement speech that really made me think long and hard about my future and decisions that I may have to make and obstacles that might be in my way. Jobs is a prime example of never giving up and following your dreams and it was very inspiring.
I never knew that Steve Jobs was fired from Apple at one point so that was very interesting and shocking at the same time. I think it is incredible that Jobs founded Pixar and Next once he was fired, two successful companies that contributed to his wealthiness. When Jobs spoke about the struggles he went through with his health and being fired, amongst other things, it really hit home in making me realize that no matter what happens in life, if you work hard good things will happen. Obviously his life had many ups and downs, but in the end, he was doing what he loved the entire time and he was happy. What most people want in life is to find something/someone they love and that makes them happy and never give up until it is theirs. Therefore, Jobs’ speech has had a lot of impact on me because I took what he was saying as a message about life, not just the workplace.
I believe that Steve Jobs has something that a lot of people don’t have and that is the courage and willingness to fail. He never looked at a project as something that could possibly be a complete disaster and he was always confidant in all of his work. This is a trait that I’m sure most people would like to acquire, including myself. I think it is amazing that Jobs has been behind so many successful business ventures and it is also very inspiring to hear his stories of the high and low points of his life and how he persevered through all of these obstacles.
