3 Takeaways from Steve’s Speech
1.Trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
-Jobs' first story explained why he decided to drop out of college.
-Drop out vs Drop in
oSteve dropped out of college because he knew it would all work out OK.
oSteve started dropping in on classes that interested him. (calligraphy)
-“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.”
2.Find what you love
-"Sometimes life is going to hit 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."
-If you haven't found what you love yet, don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."

3.Death is the destination we all share
-“Death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.”
-"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish
-Stay hungry: We should never stop learning and we should always try new things. We should be courageous and never be afraid to go the extra mile.
-Stay foolish: We should never be a master of "it is not possible". Never belong to the club of "never, you cannot do it" or "no one's ever done that so we can't".
-Striking out and taking risks that other people find "foolish" is an important part of great success.
