In this commencement speech at Stanford University, Steve Jobs shares three personal stories. The first recounts his dropping out of college and how a calligraphy class he took out of interest later influenced the typography of the Macintosh computer, illustrating the importance of trusting that life's experiences will connect in unforeseen ways. The second story details his firing from Apple and how that setback led to the creation of NeXT and Pixar, ultimately leading him back to Apple and teaching him the value of loving what you do. Finally, he reflects on his experience with cancer, emphasizing the importance of living each day as if it were your last, following your heart, and not being afraid of death, which he sees as a catalyst for change. He concludes by urging the graduates to "stay hungry, stay foolish," encouraging them to pursue their passions and remain open to new ideas.
