Jobs was the perfect person for this speech because he made his living off of the selling of products. Commencement speeches are used to serve as a motivational boost to get a college class to strive in their careers out in the real world. I thought it was a little ironic how he dropped out of college and then came to deliver a commencement ceremony speech. However, he really did motivate the crown and used a few personal stories to deliver a strong persuasive side. I also thought it was a little funny out he brought up how Microsoft stole from him. He used it to serve a positive message towards
the crowd, but I didn't think it was necessary.
The fact that he went from sleeping on friends' floors and returning coke bottles and cans for five cents, to being one of the richest people in the country amazes me. I think seeing and hearing about people who really did come from "rock bottom" serve a huge motivational purpose, and help a crown of thriving college students want to become something important.
