Three lessions in the life of Steve Jobs, the Founder & CEO of Apple at a Stanford graduation speech
I have always been fascinated by Steve Jobs, the Founder & CEO of Apple. The way he got back to Apple, the the company he originally founded, many years after having been ousted, are a great example for me how major setbacks and failure in life may eventually turn out be a good thing. After returning, he kept on reinventing industry after industry by introducing new business models in music (iPod & iTunes), mobile phones (iPhone & Apps) and now yet again in the PC industry (iPad, Macbook Air & App Store).
In 2005 he did a graduation speech at Stanford that garnered a lot of attention at the time, and is still talked about today, having been downloaded millions of times. With Steve's words: "Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.“. The talk is deeply personal and all stories support his overall key message of "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."
