The speech given by Steve Jobs at the Stanford University commencement was a very powerful speech if you actually listened and took in what he was trying to convey. He had no regrets in his decision to drop out of school so he could smell the cup of coffee called life. In that way, I am like him in that I have no regrets in giving up a different career I had prior to making the decision to come back to school full time and fore go the other path my life was headed. The first part of his speech was the confirmation people need when they make a life changing decision. I look at it as if others can do it, so can I.
The second part of his speech was about his company and overcoming personal hurdles. I took away the fact about chasing your dreams and keep pushing yourself to make the most of the chances you take. I also found that he was telling people to not get to frustrated about the setbacks we have in life. Roll with the changes and troubles, and just keep believing and doing what you love and it will work out for you.
And finally, the most important part was to enjoy life. We are not here for very long, and we should live every day to its fullest as if it could be our last. Enjoy the small moments that seem to happen every day and enjoy your passions in life. The other point was to not live life with regrets and disappointment. All in all, I found his speech to be motivational and inspirational in a reaffirming kind of way.
