You've got to find what you love


This is the text of the Commencement address at Stanford University delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple , on June 12, 2005 addressing the graduates on some intimate details of what's it that makes Steve Jobs keep going..
"I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?" .........read on here for the full transcript, or if you don't have time you could watch video here
Wonderful and inspirational !

BTW it was interesting to note that Steve Jobs was an alumni (or a drop out !) of Reed College, Portland closer to where I live.
