Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

Happy TED Tuesday!

With graduation fast-approaching for many college seniors, I thought it was an appropriate time to share this. While it is not an official TED presentation, it is posted on TED.com.

Befittingly, I am typing this post on my Macbook Pro. I have never considered myself a MacHead; I have maintained some neutrality with my Android phone. However, I do not think any individual can deny that the world lost a truly talented visionary in 2011. Even if you have already seen Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford University Commencement Address, take the time to watch it again.



At his Stanford University commencement speech, Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself.
As CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs spearheaded a few of the most iconic products in technology, entertainment and design.
Jobs battled a rare form of pancreatic cancer -- adding to an epic life story that mirrors the story of Apple itself: ever the underdog, ever the spectacular success. In August 2011 he stepped down as Apple's CEO, remaining as Chairman of the Board. He died on October 5, 2011.
