On June 12, 2005 Steve Jobs delivered the Commencement address at Stanford University. He told three stories from his life, “Connecting the Dots”, “Love and Loss” and “Death”. Steve was 50 years old at the time. You can go to YouTube and search by “Steve Jobs Commencement” and watch it.
A year earlier Steve phoned Walter Isaacson, author of biographies of Einstein and Benjamin Franklin. Steve wanted Issacson to write his biography. Steve died in October of 2011 from pancreatic cancer. The book “Steve Jobs” was published in November of 2011. The book has 571 pages and it is a “great read”. Especially for all of you other recovering entrepreneurs.
The lessons from Steve’s address are:
- “You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
- “The only way to do great work is to love what you do” and
- “Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.”
Live from Here this week is live from ASU Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, Arizona with The Wood Brothers, Phoebe Bridgers, and Bobcat Goldthwait.
“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.” Steve Jobs
