A friend e-mailed me the text of this, Steven Jobs’ commencement address at Stanford U.
http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html
I thought it was too good to be true–like the so-called Kurt Vonnegut commencement address which was great, but still turned out to be a hoax. ( http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/weekly/aa081097.htm )
But apparently Jobs really had some interesting things to say.
Seems like something along the lines of a saying my friend Fran sometimes uses: “Like the miners say, 'Eat dessert first, ‘cause the roof might cave in.’”
