Dec 31, 2008 - Yeah, we all get the point. But if you talk about your life that way, your speech will be confused and without a logical structure. This will make it perfectly incomprehensible to anyone but you. The written speech was made to give public speakers a way not having to improvise what to say and to be clearer. Anyway, if he hadn't memorized the speech before, I assure you he would be far slower in speaking because he would have to read it line by line.

Jan 1, 2009 - THANK U. we all need speeches like that to have in mind what we really want to do, to focus on our goals, sometimes it happens that u deviate of what u want because of pp's opinion,critical who r always judging those who have ambition. This speech reminds us what we are and what he want to do of our life. wish u all the best for the new year everybody ;)

Jan 6, 2009 - Fantastic Speech! I dropped out of college and now I'm Vice President of my family business and an Founder/Chairman/CEO of my own businesses. This speech hits home so hard. I'm planning on going back to college to become even better. Steve Jobs excellent speech and you are a perfect example of a TRUE survivor!
