Graduation day speeches have a very short shelf life, let alone being completely heard. However, I suspect this speech of Steve Jobs at Stanford would have certainly shaken and stirred many graduates. Personally, it has got etched in my memory and I get a new perspective on my own life every time I read this. Read more about Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish[…]

Am I a Leader?

Posted on January 26, 2010May 17, 2017 by Nishant
