        The commencement address that choose was from Steve Job at Stanford University on june 12 2005. As you may have know Steve Jobs was on of the most influenced person on this earth for his unique brain and the creation of the apple store. Steve started his speech with a life story."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.” This is one of the things that i love about this speech. He didn’t know what he wanted to be and he said that college wasn't helping him know any further. Thats what I’m saying why spend 10,000 and more just to walk around and get a job that has nothing to do with what you studied. “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.”  Steve didn’t even take the classes he needed because he dropped out and he ended up making so much money from his invention the Mac. The mac computer brought tons of new generation thing to the plate. "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” this quote that Mr Jobs says everymorning makes us think about what we are about to do before we do it. Will we be proud of the outcome of today?All good questions that we should think about. "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.” Towards the end of his speech steve said that quote which is very true.Live the life that you want and not someone else’s it would be point less for you to do that . I agree with all the quotes that steve jobs had said they are all very true and well thought out.
      
           The last article that i will be getting my fifth quote from is from President Obamas speech on the May 14 2012 at the same University. “  America needs you to reach high and hope deeply.” this quote that Obama said at the end of his speech i agree with i think that america needs hope we are all to worried about what is going on around us instead of what sharpening in the U.S
