It's a story about opportunity.
These are the highlights -
Steve Jobs is the son of a young unwed mother and was raised by his adopted parents.
His biological mother wanted him to be adopted by college graduates, but this didn't happen. He was adopted by a mother who didn't graduate from college and a father who didn't graduate from high school.
He never graduated from college, he dropped out of Reed College after 6 months and hung around as a drop-in for another 18 months.
He provides the following advice in his speech -
Trust in something. This will allow you to get off the well worn path.
Don't be afraid to start over - to replace the heaviness of being successful with the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure of everything.
Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that happened to him.
Find what you love
Keep looking
If you live each day as if it were your last, some day you will most certainly be right.
Ask yourself each day if this is what you would do if it was your last day - if the answer is no for too many days in a row - do something else.
Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Stay hungry - stay foolish
