Thursday marks the 20th anniversary of Steve Jobs\u2019 famous Stanford commencement speech, and the Steve Jobs Archive has marked the occasion by uploading an HD version of the speech, publishing notes Jobs emailed to himself, and sharing details about the leadup to the speech. You can see everything on a page on the Steve Jobs Archive\u2019s website<\/a> and watch the HD video on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The website\u2019s page about the speech is a little saccharine, but there\u2019s no denying that the address has been very influential \u2013 LeBron James used the speech to help inspire the Cleveland Cavaliers during their championship NBA Finals run in 2016<\/a>, for example \u2013 so I found it pretty cool to read some of the history of it all.<\/p>\n

I particularly liked reading Jobs\u2019 emailed notes with various outlines, themes, and drafts he was trying out. The website also has the interesting detail that Jobs \u201cread his text verbatim\u201d \u2013 given the confidence he had in his many famous presentations for Apple, I figured he might have ad-libbed parts of it. It\u2019s all worth checking out, if you have a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Jobs\u2019 friends and family launched The Steve Jobs Archive in 2022<\/a> as a place to share things like photos, documents, and stories of the Apple co-founder.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
