--- Цитата: Nicksuperrocker от 11 февраля 2016, 12:16:19 --- The speech by Steven Paul Jobs at a graduation ceremony in Stanford University.
It was in 2005 that my idol Steve Jobs came up on a stage at one of the finest universities in America – Stanford. He made an inspiration speech for the students, which was based on three stories of his life. The first one is about “connecting the dots”. Steve Job’s parents made a decision to give him to well-educated couple, and so they picked a lawyer and his wife. Finally they decided to have a girl, but, as it usually happens, their baby was a boy. However, that didn’t change the new parents’ opinion concerning the child, they still wanted him. Then Steve’s biological mother discovered that the new parents had no graduation whatsoever. The lawyer promised to settle mr. Jobs into a college. When it was time for the future Apple executive to apply to a school, he naively chose an establishment that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and as a consequence, the price for tuition began to quickly eat into his savings. And so he one day had a neat idea to abandon this college and to join a calligraphy class. This seemed to have no practical use in adult life. Surprisingly, but ten years later, when he was designing is very first computer all this knowledge helped him to add special features to the PC, and these made the new software even better.
The main idea of the story is that you need to observe your past experience and to use it to find solutions to your problems in the future.
