In this commencement speech Steve Jobs shared with the graduates his life and essentially 2 important messages to convey to the graduates in order for them to live a prosperous and colourful life. (:
His first message was that as youth graduates, you need to "follow your heart". What he meant was that you need to do whatever you want to do, and not waste your time doing things you're not interested in and hence does not have a value in it. Only by focusing on what you really want to do, will you be able to decide what your future will be like: A colourful and happy one to do what you want to do and be successful. By doing what you want to do and going off the well-worn path, will give you the confidence that later in life something will connect whatever you have gained over the years together, and give you a life that you have always transpired to have. (:
He also told the graduates they needed to treasure the time that they have. Quoting Steve Jobs, he came across a quote going: "If you live each day as if it was your last, some day you would most certainly be right." As it is, he's telling them that one day you might just lose everything that you have and face the disgusting prospect of death, so therefore make the most of whatever time that you have! Make the most of whatever you have left and "follow your heart". One day you are really going to die anyway since all humans die, so make the most of what ability you have and do everything to the best of your ability. No one wants to die. Death is the best invention of life... "Someday you will gradually become the old, and be cleared away." Don't waste your remaining time, have the courage to do whatever you want to do and become, and drown out everyone else's opinion. (:
