Steve Jobs Stanford Guest Speaker.

Steve jobs recently made a speech to young graduates of Stanford University. He outlined his success in sereveral areas and companies; such as Apple, Pixar Animations, and NeXT. But the most important point he was making was the journey that he took to come to this successful point in his life.

Steve was a college dropout. He had no idea what he wanted to do going through college and eventually dropped out thinking it was going nowhere. At the time steve wasn't sure what he loved, but he followed what he was interested in, such as typography, where he dropped into colege courses of interest. He realized this had no practical application, but that it was what he was interested in. Steve said looking back, his class oin typography is what resulted in the design of the personal computer to day, something that he never thought would have resulted, but in retrospect was in valuable for his success today.

There are three valuable points that steve tried to make across:
-Love what you do
-Follow your heart
-Live like it is your last day
