Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

As you all know Steve Jobs passed away yesterday and there have been several links to his 2005 Stanford University Commencement Address.  After much debate, and a lack of a new Netflix DVD, I decided to take the 15 minutes plunge and see what he had to say.

The one take away quote for me was:

"You've got to find what you love.  And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.  Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.  And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.   If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.  Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.  And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.  So keep looking until you find it.  Don't settle."
