7 Lessons from Steve Jobs’ Legendary Speech

It’s commencement speech season.

I recently shared ​a series of powerful lessons​ from David Foster Wallace’s This Is Water commencement speech on its 20th anniversary.

Well, as it turns out, 2005 was a legendary year for wisdom from the commencement stage.

Just a few weeks after Foster Wallace’s brilliance, on June 12, 2005, Steve Jobs stepped to the podium to deliver the annual commencement address at Stanford University.

The speech has impacted my life in deep and lasting ways—shaping how I view purpose, ambition, creativity, and mortality.

In honor of its 20th anniversary, I want to share seven timeless lessons from that day (which we can all apply to our lives).
