Steve Jobs Commencement Address Part 3

Learning Targets

As we listen we will:

• Evaluate Steve Job's stories of love and loss...
• So we can summarize his stories in our own words. 

Video -  8:45 - End

Small Group discussion:
Can you summarize each one of Steve's Stories?

Short Written response:
Which one of Steve Jobs stories has the most meaning to you? Why?

Story 1 is about connecting the dots (events) in his life from dropping out of college to taking a calligraphy course, to designing the first Mac.

Story 2 is about love and loss and how Jobs got fired from his own company, Apple, but went on to create two new companies, get married, and then return to Apple even more successful than when he got fired.

Story 3 is about death and how Steve Jobs fought pancreatic cancer. He wants us to all make the most of our time and live our lives for ourselves and nobody else.
