The secret of success

In his speech at the 2005 Commencement at Stanford University, Jobs (2005) transmitted his personal philosophy by telling three of his life stories related to college, work, love and illness. This executive advised graduate students to “have the courage to follow your heart and intuition” (Jobs, 2005) after sharing his experience of leaving college and being dismissed from Apple which afterwards, led to his later success in computer technology. To conclude his speech, Jobs (2005) revealed the moment he felt close to death to encourage graduates to follow their feelings and look for what they love enjoying life in their own way.
