Steve Jobs held an interesting graduation speech to this years graduating class of Stanford University. In it he proclaimed that dropping out of college was one of the best decisions he ever made because it forced him to be innovative:
PALO ALTO, California — Steve Jobs told Stanford University graduates Sunday that dropping out of college was one of the best decisions he ever made because it forced him to be innovative — even when it came to finding enough money for dinner.
In an unusually candid commencement speech, Apple Computer’s CEO also told the almost 5,000 graduates that his bout with a rare form of pancreatic cancer reemphasized the need to live each day to the fullest.
“Your time is limited so don’t let it be wasted living someone else’s life,” Jobs said to a packed stadium of graduates, alumni and family.
Jobs, wearing sandals and jeans under his robe, was treated like a rock star by the students, in large part due to the surge in popularity of Apple’s iPod digital music player.
A group of students wore iPod mini costumes over their robes and several shouted, “Steve, hire me!”
Hehe…nice one. I think it’ll be a while before anyone else invites him to do a graduation speech again
