Steve Jobs Has Good Things To Say

As much as I dislike Apple, due to their selfish use of proprietary technology and documented falsehood toward consumers, not to mention their haughty customers who think they’re superior to others because they bought something that was marketed well and seems “hip” (wink wink), CEO Steve Jobs had some interesting things to say as he gave the 2005 Standford commencement address. While it’s not the gospel, some of his points certainly seemed to be crying out for it.

This was originally posted on the Desiring God Blog. I thought I’d repost it because it was interesting, plus it gives me a chance to go on a short rant against the ever-so-popular Apple Computers. And if you’re an Apple fan, don’t take it too seriously. I suppose we can get along. Jon Bloom writes:

When Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, gave the 2005 Stanford commencement address, he essentially challenged the graduates to not waste their lives. Although his conclusions about how to not waste life fall short, it is interesting that Mr. Jobs tells his listeners to 1) trust in Providence, 2) see purpose in their suffering, and 3) reflect every day on the reality of death.
