Steve Jobs Persuasive Speech

Should you live your life day to day or take advantage of every moment and make something of yourself? Most people are stuck in a mindset that prevents them from becoming the person that they want to be. This mindset can revolve around happiness and interests in what you want to do. There is a passion out there for everyone, it is just the fact people are too afraid of stepping out of their comfort zone to pursue their passion. My response to their fear is that we only have one life and we don’t get second chances. That statement might sound blunt, but we need to adjust to the mindset that we need go out and enjoy the world until it is too late. No obstacle/problem should hold you back they were placed in your way for a reason, and that reason

There isn’t time to sorrow over your problems and Steve Jobs displays that in his speech. Before I begin stating my arguments for why I agree with Steve Jobs I want to bring it to the attention of all people that life is precious. Life is precious because you make it that way. Your decisions and actions make your life different than everyone else’s. If we all thought and acted the same way our society wouldn’t progress and we wouldn’t be unique individuals.

In his commencement address, he covers a lot of topics ranging from following your heart to facing death and embracing it. He begins his speech by describing his life as he grew older. His stories were about connecting the dots. Steve Jobs states that “So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever” and this quote is extremely valuable. In my opinion, I feel it is extremely valuable if you are connecting your “dots” like Steve Jobs did. No one knows what the future holds, so you have trust your heart and your instincts to help you succeed. Many people will disagree with my opinion only due to the fact that their heart is telling them to do something that won’t make a lot of money or it will make their loved ones feel disappointed in them. Everyone wants money and respect, but does that conflict with doing what you love? In my opinion it should not, but if you’re passionate about a career or anything you should pursue it. Steve Jobs later on in his speech discussed how he started Apple. He ran his company out of his parents’ garage. Steve Jobs was declined by many people because his idea of the personal computer was not popular at the time. He didn’t let that get to him. The failure at the beginning was motivation for him and he was
