In June 2005, Steve Jobs was apprehensive about delivering a commencement speech at Stanford University, expressing his discomfort in an email to a friend. His initial drafts, deemed embarrassing, later evolved into a profound and celebrated address that resonated with over 120 million viewers. To commemorate the 20th anniversary, the Steve Jobs Archive has launched an online exhibit featuring remastered video, interviews, and memorabilia. Jobs' talk, which tackled themes of failure and mortality, marked a pivotal moment that inspired future speakers and students alike.
"It's embarrassing, I'm just not good at this sort of speech. I never do it. I'll send you something, but please don't puke."
"Failure, biopsy, and death were not on the card, but they were clearly on Jobs' mind as he composed his remarks."
