How to live before you die

Have you ever thought of how to live before you die? After watching the commencement speech by Steve Jobs at Stanford University. I have started to create a new perspective at life and the way that I look at it. You see Steve Jobs is just not an average guy that people look up to. At least not in my life, He created the best computer platform to have ever existed in which I am currently using. The Apple MacBook Pro.

During Mr. Jobs’ speech he spoke about his personal life growing up being an adopted child. He explained that his biological mother wanted to put him up for adoption because she wanted him to go on to college one day. He went on to say that once he started his collegiate there was nothing about it that really interested him about it. 6 months into college, Steve decides to drop out and do what he loved best with his friend. After 9 months of working on a project with his friend he created the company “Apple”. After releasing their first desktop computer he found out that windows decided to copy his idea and release their own version of their desktop. This is when the real competition began.

After years of working with Apple, the companies’ board of directors decides to fire Steve and go with his friends’ idea of moving on with the company. Since he was fired from his own company he created “Pixar Animation”. “Pixar” went on to release the first computer animated movie “Toy Story” which became a very successful movie. Since the release of the movie Steve created another company called “Next” which developed computer processors. After a few years of the “Next” era for Steve, Apple came along board and bought the company meaning that Steve once again was with the Apple Company as a CEO.

Steve Jobs concluded his speech by saying that all the events that he went through his life is the way to live before you die.
