Short but inspiring speech by Steve Jobs to students at the Academy of Achievement. Two things sticks out to me:
1. At the beginning, Steve doesn’t shy away trying to met a bright guy in the audience named Erik – probably to recruit him for Apple. Gutsy move, well done.
2. Steve also shows another, darker side of his personality. Near the end, he mentions anticipating to have kids one day and wanting to help them become sane human beings. The thing is, Steve already had a child, Lisa who was 3-4 years old! His reluctance to accept paternity is well documented but it’s still shocking to hear it.

Steve Jobs’ most important and proudest and moment of his career occurred when he introduced the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984.
Steve took a huge gamble with the Macintosh. For years, he alienated Apple’s management, often stealing employees from other projects to bring them to the Mac team. He encouraged internal competition and ridiculed the efforts from the rest of the company.
Now it was time to prove he was right and show the world the Next Big Thing. It was Steve and his team culminating efforts of years of hard work. Read More
