Steve Jobs: How to live before you die

          At his Stanford University commencement speech, Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself. He explains what some consider failure, actually turned out to benefit him. He gave a touching recount of his mother's story about him at birth. He gave examples that helped the audience understand where he was coming from and where he was going with each statement. I was able to become fully engaged because I could tell that he was speaking from the heart and not trying to be typical or cliche. His delivery was basic and dull but the words and meaning behind them made up for it.
