Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

I love this video. A few lessons I learned.

+ Do something you love. Life is so short. If you’re not doing something you love, slowly transition. If you want to leave your law firm and become a radio host, get a mentor in that field. Read up on that field. That fact is that people don’t want it enough.

+ Embrace hardship. Steve Jobs was adopted and never graduate from high school. He also got fired from the company he started. But all the hardships build character. Never giving up is a great character trait, but more importantly, never giving up becomes a life long habit.

+ Be HUNGRY, BE Foolish. Yes, all entrepreneurs must have this drive. It is 3:47am right now in Hong Kong and I am working. Be foolish, meaning try things that are different. Color outside the lines. Challenge authority, embrace change. Be the Purple Cow.
