Who comes to read my blog from time to time has, or so I hope, come to understand that I prefer Apple software to Microsoft’s, and prefer Macs to PCs. It is my choice, a choice that I have made for me and my life. Many people out there don’t like the Mac and Apple’s things, and prefer Windows and PCs. That’s perfectly fine, because it is a choice you made for you, like I did for me. I can only express my personal opinion.
You know Steve Jobs is the man at the wheel at Apple, he does all the cool Keynote addresses over in the Moscone West where many of Apple’s things have been shown for the first time to the world. I like him, because to me it appears as if he kind of represents the young computer generation (although he is now almost 50), you know, black sleeve, blue jeans, and white trainers, and that’s all he wears when addressing the Moscone West which is filled with nearly 5,000 people, many of them in high ranking positions, or high representatives from well known publications and newspapers. Not everyone has the guts to do that.
But take all those things away. Take away Apple, iPod, iPhone, Mac, OS X, Reality Distortion Field, and what do you get? A Steve Jobs that has three touching stories to tell, and he told them back in 2005 at Stanford as the University began its year.
“Three stories, no big deal” is what he says. Trust me when I say that this is one of the most inspiring speeches I have ever heard, and no matter if you dislike the Mac and prefer Windows – put aside your dislike for the Mac and listen what this man has to say about life and what happened to him, and how it can help you in your life. Believe me when I say, it will inspire you.
