Connecting dots

Connecting dots
In 2005, Stanford University graduates listened to Jobs’ (2005) Commencement address. Jobs’ (2005) speech dealt with three stories. The first one was about connecting dots – trivial experiences that later would become significant. The second focused on love and loss. Being fired from his company he decided to begin another one. The last story dealt with death. Diagnosed with cancer, he learnt another lesson: “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way (. . .) to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose”. Jobs’ (2005) speech finished with a straightforward advice “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”
