Jobs 6, the Stanford commencement address

I can't imagine a better way to wrap up this series. Jobs appeared plenty of times after this, including introducing the iPad, but if you've been following this series, you've seen him do product launches. His Stanford commencement is something else altogether. It's about him, and his driving forces. When he tells his stories, he really is talking about Steve Jobs. And in talking about personal integrity and sticking to your values, he also provides a hell of a commencement speech.



Steve Jobs was far from perfect, and as I said when I began this, I strongly recommend the Isaacson biography so that you can get the story for yourself. But it's so great to be able to see him in video, and to share in some of his most notable moments. Like this one, which more than any is Jobs talking from the heart. What a great summation: Stay hungry, stay foolish.
