A day after the CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs, launched the new and apparently sexy and upgraded iPhone 4, I would like to bring to your attention an inspiring speech he made in June 2005, at Stanford University. I saw and heard his speech recently online through the website Ted.com. This is the link. You should definitely have a look. http://www.ted.com/talks/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die.html
The speech is amazing because Steve Jobs is, obviously, a very special person. But it is also a special speech for me, because Steve Jobs was adopted as a baby. I didn't know that until I heard his speech.
So Mr Jobs. Thank you for your Apple Macs and your iPhones. And thank you for being a person adopted children and their families can look to for inspiration and hope. I hope for you what I hope for my adopted little girl, MG. That you managed to keep your back upright when the adoption bag tried to pull you down. And that along with your success you are also a happy person.
