Steve Jobs - Stanford Commencement Speech

1. Much of what I 'stumbled into' when I began following my curiosity and intuition was priceless. You can't connect the dots looking forward - you can only connect them looking backwards. You just have to trust that following intuition makes sense.
2. You've got to find what you love. The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to do what you love. If you haven't found it - keep looking, don't settle.
3. Remembering that I'll be dead soon allow me to make the most important choices in life. Petty things fall away in the face of death. Knowing you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked in the face of death.
