Steve jobs

1. I think the reason why Steve Jobs was picked out of all the successful and rich
people is because even after facing lots of problems he was open minded, he
remained positive and never gave up and because he has a great mentality in life.
2. The speech was done in Stanford University
3. The commencement speech was for Steve Jobs to be able to share his experience,
values and advice for the new graduates.
4. Steve Jobs wrapped up the three lessons in three stories. He talked about his life
and how he connected the dots. In his first story he talked about how he was able to
focus on other things rather than having normal classes. Since he dropped out of the
normal classes he was able to study calligraphy. Little did he know that after 10
years he was able to apply the lessons he learned in calligraphy class to the
Macintosh computer, which became the first computer with beautiful calligraphy. In
his second story he talked about how he got kicked out of the empire he built. Even
after Jobs was kicked out of the company he started he didn’t let it drag his life down.
But instead he started over and turned his life around, he started a company named
NeXT, another named Pixar and met the love of his life. Then Apple bought NeXT
which led him back to Apple. He said “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a
brick. Don’t lose faith” and that the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you
believe is great work. But the only way to do great work is to love what you do. He
says that you shouldn’t settle until you find what you’re looking for. In his third
story he shared that for the past years he looked in the mirror and asked himself “If
today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
and if the answer was no for several days, he knew he needed a change. It was the
most important tool he used to make the big choices in his life. Steve Jobs said that
we should follow our heart and that we shouldn’t be affected by what other people
think of us. He ended his speech with a message “Stay Hungry”, “Stay Foolish”.

Kevin alloca
1. Kevin Alloca was chosen as the speaker since he is the Trends Manager of
YouTube. He is the most qualified and capable in making people understand why
videos go viral. He is also an author and technology professional and is currently the
Head of Culture & Trends at YouTube, where he tracks popular video phenomena
and manages trending content initiatives.
2. The speech happened in YouTube.
3. To be able to explain why videos go viral
4. In Kevin Alloca’s speech he talked about how and why videos go viral in
YouTube. Over 48 hours of videos are being uploaded every single minute and only
a tiny percent go viral. Going viral requires three things. First are tastemakers, when
influential people enjoy the video they see they share it or report it making lots of
people view the video. Second is unexpectedness, viral videos should be different
since tons of videos get uploaded every minute. Third is participation, When the
video is interesting or when it is catchy, people usually create parodies, remakes
and/or add something new.

Comparison:
1. Steve Jobs and Kevin Alloca are both highly respected and technically competent
in their field of specializations. What makes them great influencers are their positive
outlook in life, their constant hunger for knowledge and innovation. Both are open
minded and not governed by conventional rules. They both love what they are doing
and believe that all things are possible for those who persevere. They are not
discouraged by the problems that they encountered but eagerly embraced the
challenges. They constantly think of something new, different and creative.
2. The speech of Steve Jobs was done before a live audience of graduating students
in Stanford University while the speech of Kevin Alloca was done in You Tube.

4. Steve Jobs shared his three life lessons to the graduating students for them to be
prepared to face life’s challenges. He encouraged them to be open minded, to be
positive, to have faith and never give up. His life was not just about success, he also
went through so much difficulty and frustrations. He was not ashamed of being a
dropped out, instead, he strived to learn something new, which became useful in his
life later. He was able to make a comeback when Apple finally realize his genius.
