Steve Job's Commencement Speech at Stanford
“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” -Steve Jobs
Whether it matters or not he is definitely going to be one of the richest man in the cemetery and he has done many wonderful things he can definitely rest in peace now. I was really shaken when I heard the news that Steve jobs had passed away. He was really an extraordinary man, inspiring and ridiculously talented. His commencement speech at Stanford in 2005 was so inspiring that I have listened to it countless times, since it was uploaded on YouTube.
“Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” This is one of my all-time favourite quotes by Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs will always be remembered. With his wonderful ideas and innovations (the Personal Computer, iPhone, iPad, iTunes, iPod), he has impacted the world and how we work. He has been an inspiration and will continue being an inspiration. I will definitely watch the video of his speech at Stanford for many more years to come.
