Whether you’re a Mac or PC person, Steve Job’s brilliance cannot be denied. Almost everyone has heard the stories of the innovator’s tantrums and business hijinks. So we were surprised to see a softer (and funnier) side to Jobs in this video from a 2005 Stanford graduation ceremony. The sentiments in this speech apply to the writing life quite well: don’t give up, rely on yourself, and realize that life is short. As another brilliant man, Henry David Thoreau, once said: “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.”

Enjoy this speech and may it inspire you to write great things.
