Stanford Report, June 14, 2005

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs

CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios,

delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from

one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from

college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a

college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my

life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then

stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I

really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young,

unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up

for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by

college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted

at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out

they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So

my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of

the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you

want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later

found out that my mother had never graduated from college and

that my father had never graduated from high school. She

refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few

months later when my parents promised that I would someday go

to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a

college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my

working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college

tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no

idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college

was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of

the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to

drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty

scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best

decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop

taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin

dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the

floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits

to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every

Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna

temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following

my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let

me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy

instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster,

every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed.

Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal

classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do

this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying

the amount of space between different letter combinations, about

what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical,

artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found

it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my

life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first

Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it

all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful

typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in

college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or

proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the

Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I

had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this

calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the

wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to

connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it

was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only

connect them looking backwards. 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. This

approach has never let me down, and it has made all the

difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I

started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked

hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in

a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.

We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year

earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can

you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew

we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the

company with me, and for the first year or so things went well.

But then our visions of the future began to diverge and

eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of

Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly

out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone,

and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had

let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had

dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with

David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for

screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even

thought about running away from the valley. But something

slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did. The turn of

events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been

rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple

was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The

heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of

being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to

enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT,

another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing

woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the

worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is

now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a

remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to

Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart

of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a

wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been

fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the

patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a

brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept

me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you

love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only

way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you

haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters

of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great

relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So

keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you

live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly

be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the

past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and

asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want

to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer

has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to

change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool

I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride,

all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away

in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to

avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are

already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at

7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my

pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors

told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is

incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to

six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs

in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try

to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10

years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure

everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for

your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a

biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through

my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my

pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but

my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells

under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned

out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable

with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the

closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I

can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death

was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven

don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we

all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,

because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is

Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the

new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from

now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of

other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions

drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the

courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already

know what you truly want to become. Everything else is

secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The

Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my

generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not

far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his

poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal

computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with

typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like

Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along:

it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great

notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth

Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final

issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back

cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning

country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if

you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay

Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they

signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished

that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish

that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.
