Steve Jobs Commencement

The Steve Jobs commencement speech from Stanford is a classic example of expressive individualism in his choice to drop out of college and instead take classes of his choosing and that carried over into the products that Apple made afterwards.  I feel that a lot of this speech was focused around this choice and is the basis of a liberal arts education and is a show of how the individual can shape the world and community that they live in.  This can lead to a multibillion dollar company as in Steve Jobs's case or to a reform in public policy.

  1. I think that his comments can be taken in a way where he still could have made his billion dollar company, but it might not be as pretty.
