Hungry Fool

I was talking to a bright, promising, young, would-be-lawyer friend over the phone just before dinner, catching up on unanswered calls and text messages, talking about school and work and stuff, when she suddenly directed me to a text reproduction of the commencement speech made by Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple Computers and Pixar Animation Studios) to the 2005 graduates of Stanford University.

I remembered mine, several years back (delivered by Atty. Katrina Legarda) bearing the message, "Try Anything Once." It is much in the same format as Jobs' where lessons are backed by personal experiences. Same is true with Butch Jimenez's "What's Better Than?" for the UP Diliman Class of 2003 (thanks to Dianne for forwarding a copy the very same year this came out). Then there's this article about wearing sunscreen which could pass as a commencement speech had it actually been delivered to a graduating class.
