I recently watched the 2005 Stanford University Commencement Address by Steve Jobs. Perhaps you have already seen it - the website reports 1.4 million hits! - but it was new to me, and it contained some excellent points about the good life that I would like to mention here. I know little about Steve Jobs, so I will focus on the message and not the messenger. That said, this particular message was also about the messenger. Specifically, his 15-minute talk consisted of three personal stories, and it is one of the best speeches I have ever heard, especially of the commencement address genre.
