My fascination with Steve Jobs began sometime in 2007-8 with seeing Youtube footage of his commencement speech at Stanford 2005. Being the CEO of a legendary firm, and in front of an audience known for their academic prowess, he spoke nothing about corporate world, not about careers, not about professional growth. He spoke of inner drive, passion, life and its significance and all of it with the kind of fervour, impact and conviction only he can. You could see he meant what he said; what he had himself experienced. That's Jobs for you.
I am an even bigger fan of his presentation skills. Watch how he, in this Stanford speech, spells out upfront, "today, I like to share 3 stories from my life - just 3 stories, no big deal" - sets the platform for what the audience is about to get. It is basic but what impact and must have gotten the audience sit up and listen!!!!
I have been seeing some reently uploaded vidoes of Steve (not sure they were up earlier) where he talks about life, failure and I found them to be amazing!!!

It has made me think about life, the walls and perception of life, we live in....very thought provoking! Here's wishing 2012 is more purposeful, fun, refreshing, will open me out, and be truly memorable!
