On June 14, 2005, Steve Jobs delivered a powerful speech to the graduating class at Stanford University. During his speech, Steve Jobs told three separated stories from his life.
The first story is about connecting the dots. Steve Jobs dropped out from Reed College after the first 6 months and stayed as a drop-in for another 18 months before he really quit. His biological mother was so young and unwed college graduate student so she decided to put him for adaption and she felt that he should be adopted by college graduates.

But at the age of 30, he got fired from the company he started. They hired someone who was very talented to run the company and for the first year, things went well. But then, they eventually fall out and the board of directors wanted him out of the company. He was devastated and did not know what to do for a few months. But something slowly began to dawn on him and it is he still loved what he did. So he decide to start over, he launched a company named NeXT and Pixar. Pixar created the world’s first computer animated film named Toy Story, and today it is the most successful animation studio in the world. NeXT was purchased by Apple and Steve Jobs returned back to his own company. And he says that if he has not been fired from Apple, he would never formed NeXT, and without NeXT, Apple would not have reached the peak. He says that life will hit your head with a brick but do not lose faith. You must find and keep doing what you love because it will fill a large part of your life. And you haven’t find it yet, keep looking, and don’t
