Life-Death-Rebirth: Steve Jobs’ Commencement Address at Stanford University

Abstract

In 2005, Steve Jobs delivered a short address to the graduating class at Stanford University that has been viewed on YouTube more than 23 million times. This is an excellent speech by an iconic Silicon Valley entrepreneur that contains important life lessons for people of all ages. After the stage is set with a brief history of Stanford University, we will view the speech (with Chinese subtitles) and discuss the birth-death-rebirth theme at the heart of Jobs’ insights. We will also consider whether the German philosopher G. W. F. Hegel would recognize Jobs as what he calls a “world-historical individual.” If so, what does this mean? We will conclude by sharing our responses to Jobs’ thoughts about patience, perseverance, and finding your passion for life and work.
