I rarely watch videos (who has time?) but made an exception for this one.

By the end of it, I was in tears.

His words spoke straight to me as much as to those kids just stepping into their lives.

I'm starting my day with a renewed vow not to waste another minute.

Thanks, Steve, for your vision, your drive, your creativity, your courage and for your inspiring words.  

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

~Steve Jobs

    I read excerpts from this speech last night and I was so moved. Hopefully I’ll have time to watch the video later today. We have truly lost a visionary; the Edison of our day. And sadly at the peak of his career. Who knows what we may be missing out on. I love my Apple products and think how dull my life would be without them! RIP Steve!

    Each part of his speech was so inspirational – the first part about 'connecting the dots' really spoke to me, too. I'm a latecomer to Apple products but I love my iPhone and can't believe I waited so long to get it. He truly was an amazing visionary!

    I'm so grateful someone re-posted it. I'd never seen it! I have a feeling I'll come back to it again and again.

    I loved the looks on the faces of the graduates. That said it all.

    I think this should be shown at all college graduations!
