Audio: Steve_Jobs_2005_Stanford_Commencement_Address_0.04.29.000-0.04.36.930.mp3
Video: Steve_Jobs_2005_Stanford_Commencement_Address_0.04.29.000-0.04.36.930.webm

Video: Steve_Jobs_2005_Stanford_Commencement_Address_0.04.36.930-0.04.42.340.webm

Expression: If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.

Video: Steve_Jobs_2005_Stanford_Commencement_Address_0.04.49.380-0.04.57.630.webm

Video: Steve_Jobs_2005_Stanford_Commencement_Address_0.05.02.530-0.05.06.490.webm

Video: Steve_Jobs_2005_Stanford_Commencement_Address_0.05.16.260-0.05.21.280.webm

Expression: Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.
Audio: Steve_Jobs_2005_Stanford_Commencement_Address_0.05.21.280-0.05.32.890.mp3
